THE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP.<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Incredibly moving, tender and heartfelt’ Hannah Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘A heart-melting book that shows us there’s always hope and love to be found even in the midst of grief’ Nizrana Farook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ten-year-old Rhys really loves dogs. When he finds a lost black Labrador with big conker eyes and ears like soft velvet, he can’t quite believe his luck. Nobody comes forward to claim Worthington, giving Rhys the perfect opportunity to prove he’s a good owner.
