The special relationship between a young girl and a dog, family drama, puppy heroics – what’s not to love in Holly Webb’s new story?
Jade is desperate for a dog but understands that it’s not possible, at least until her little brother is older. Signing up for a dog walking website seems the ideal solution and Jade is in heaven when she meets Milo, the adorable Golden Retriever puppy. They immediately form a special bond, but it’s threatened when Milo’s owner finds a new job far away.
The story of how things work out for the two is full of excitement, the tension resolved in the best way possible. Holly Webb understands exactly what young readers want and delivers it impeccably in stories that perfectly balance thrills and reassurance, jeopardy and resolution, and this will be much enjoyed by all readers and bliss for any dreaming of owning a dog.
Jade adores dogs but she can't have one because her father thinks her brother is too little. Then Jade's dad sees an advert for local dog walkers and it seems like the perfect solution.

They soon meet an adorable red Golden Retriever puppy named Milo and Jade falls in love with him immediately. Unfortunately, Milo's owner is moving to Paris and can't take him with her. Will the poor puppy have to go to a shelter, or could his new home be right under his nose?
A new story from best-selling author Holly Webb, perfect for animal-loving children, and fans of Zoe's Rescue Zoo and Magic Animals Friends.
Holly Webb was born and grew up in south-east London, but spent a lot of time on the Suffolk coast. As a child, she had two dogs, a cat, and at one point, nine gerbils (an accident). At about ten, Holly fell in love with stories from Ancient Greek myths, which led to studying Latin and Greek, and eventually to reading Classics at university. She worked for five years as a children's fiction editor, before deciding that writing was more fun, and easier to do from a sofa. She started writing several years ago while working as a children’s books editor. She has written over ninety books including the Animal Stories , My Naughty Little Puppy and Maisie Hitchins series for Stripes Publishing. Holly has also written In The Clever Little Kitten for World Book Day and a sequel to The Secret Garden . Holly Webb lives in Berkshire with her husband, children and three cats.
