A puppy born without the ability to bark; A veterinarian who believes that dogs could talk, given the right surgery; A scientist who specialises in growing tissue. Add these together and the result is a dog with a unique ability and an attitude problem. That means a confused family, offended neighbours, and some very scared cats ===== This is a book for children aged around 8-12 years of age. ===== Reviews: "This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down. From the first page it was great. My kids enjoyed listening to this and it prompted a very nice lengthy discussion after we were finished with it. I would highly recommend this book to parents. Although this is a longer book, I found it a nice way to spend an afternoon with my kids." "This is a perfect family book." "Who wouldn't want to have a speaking dog and learn to know what his/her furry friend really thinks? The book also gives a lot of opportunities for (grand)parents that read this book with their (grand)children to start conversations about so important topics like bullying in an easy way. Highly recommended " =====
