What is The Way of Dog about?
Scruffity is born on a harsh puppy farm, where he longs for a family and a life beyond his concrete cage. When a lonely boy helps him escape, Scruffity discovers the freedom of running, digging and howling, and begins to understand love and belonging. But tragedy soon leaves him alone again, facing a frightening world filled with danger. Told in vivid, powerful verse, this moving story follows one brave dog’s search for safety, hope and a place to call home.
