The Gardening Dog

A heartwarming and beautifully illustrated tale about how both a boy and a dog who don't quite fit in learn that friendship, like a garden, takes time and nurturing to grow - but that both are always worth the wait.

The Gardening Dog is never chosen to go home with anyone who visits the rescue centre where she lives. Instead she spends her time quietly growing beautiful plants. Then one day she meets a boy called Lewis, who much prefers drawing to running around with the other children. Working together, Lewis and The Gardening Dog create a wonderful community garden for everyone to share, and along the way build a deep friendship that changes both of their lives forever.
