WOOF! The Dog That Did Doggie Things children's book about dogs

The Dog Network is proud to introduce its first children’s book about dogs!

Written in collaboration with Lindsay Ford, from Bread and Clutter Books. Illustrations by Lindsay Ford.

Woof! The Dog That Did Doggie Things is about a young dog who tries really hard to be good and make her humans happy. But for Avy sometimes the temptation to be bad is just TOO strong. As she continues to make mistakes and get in trouble, she starts to learn the joy that being good can bring. She learns to be not only the best dog she can be, but to help others be their best selves as well.

This books teaches children that sometimes mistakes can happen but you can learn from those mistakes and develop into your best self.

Suitable for all ages.

Avy was an amazing dog!

She definitely wasn’t ordinary. When she passed, we were devastated and we wanted to do something to honour and preserve her memory.

Creating this whimsical children’s book about her helped us process our grief, and we think you will agree that her goofy character and spirit are captured in the pages this book.

But there are so many more wonderful memories and Avy-tales to share … this could turn into a series.

Best friends forever!

Avy was an incredibly special dog – often more human than dog in her personality. We had the best connection – I could look at her and know what she was thinking, and she would do the same with me. Often when laughing I would glance down and see that she was smiling and laughing along as well.

More than just my best friend, Avy was the love of my life. We did everything together, from tons of travelling, camping, hiking and adventures, to visiting all of the dog-friendly places we could find.

I hope you enjoy reading about Avy’s antics in her children’s books as much as I enjoyed making the memories with her.
