Hector: A Dog's Story is a beautiful tale about love and friendship and a puppy searching for happiness - as told by the puppy himself. An emotional rollercoaster that takes the reader through highs and lows, happiness and sadness, loss and new life. A brilliant book, perfectly illustrated, to help children understand that death is not the end and that, as the author says, 'hope never dies' and 'for everyone there is happiness waiting'.

The story is about growing up, love, friendship, looking for a home, safety and a puppy named Hector in contrast to the reality of war. It proves that hope never dies and happiness awaits everyone. As the author herself says, the book helps children to look at what seems difficult or insurmountable from a different perspective.
Conversations on difficult topics related to war, rejection, illness, death or loneliness are often omitted in children's literature. Hector, who is the main character of the book, can be a good partner for a child in exploring the world and dealing with difficult emotions. He is a dog full of energy and curious about the world.
He shows that dogs can see more than we think and are looking for answers to the same questions as humans.
