A warm and humorous story for children who have a dog, or dream of having one.

Henry Snootman the Eighth already has everything. Now he really wants a schnauzer. Why? He’s not quite sure.

His life is turned upside down at a shelter for stray dogs, where he meets shaggy dachshund cross Ruffian and little Fluffball. In their company, for the first time in his life, he sets off into the city on his own, without his chauffeur-driven limo.

The journey is full of crazy adventures. The humorous narrative is accompanied by Daniel de Latour’s fluid illustrations. But this book is not just about having fun.

Between bursts of laughter, readers accompany Henry in discovering how to build a true bond, what responsibility is, and why it’s a bad idea to entrust the care of your dog – feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them – to someone else.

Iwona Haberny, translated by Kate Webster
