A fantastic job of letting us into the world of canines.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the sequel.
Very entertaining with a fresh new perspective.
Thoroughly enjoyed this story. If I didn’t know better Elliott could be human, He really understood the complexity of human relationships and emotions with a quirky way of interpreting it. Great writing, looking forward to more from Kit James.

Every Which Way But Home
Jolted from his cozy life when he accompanies his Boss, Ian, on an ill-fated trip, Barney is thrown into the unfamiliar world of Barranyup Dog Pound. Getting lost was his own fault – he's got nobody to blame but himself, as he admits. There's nothing worse for a dog than feeling sheepish!
Now that he's been incarcerated, the smart-arse young mutt must use his wits and his 'smarts' to survive this hostile environment.
Stunned and disappointed that Ian doesn't show to take him home, Barney's got to deal with his new situation. Can he learn to use the system under the guidance of Charlie, an ancient scarred Blue Heeler who takes him under his paw?
Or will it be "Bye, bye Cruel World" with Doc Soper's needle?
And then ... will there be life and love in a new home after the dog pound? Find out how it all happens in Every Which Way But Home, the humorous, yet touching, prequel to the Mutt to Megastar series.
