“Some kids wish for brand new bikes, For fancy dolls or belts with spikes But as for me I’ve always known I need a dog to call my own” Celebrating those dogs that don’t bark, or steal food, or roll in smelly things, My Real Dog by Emily Joe is the perfect story for anyone who has ever wished for a real dog – but found themselves with a toy dog instead. Because what does a ‘real dog’ really mean anyway?

About the Author
Emily Joe is an author, art director and animal lover based in Mt Roskill, Auckland. For Emily, inspiration is never very far away, sometimes even in her own backyard or lounge room, thanks to the crazy antics of her two chickens and two cats, who make sure there’s rarely a dull moment in the Joe household.
