A Puppy Called Hugo

Fiona Harrison is a dog lover and writer from the West Country who lives with her husband and their menagerie of pets. Lucky enough to have a family who always supported her creative writing attempts, as a child, Fiona routinely entertained them with a variety of stories covering everything from Margaret Thatcher to Roland Rat.

Eventually Fiona realised there was not much of a market for Mrs T stories, and moved to London, spending her days working as a journalist and her evenings sleeping in cramped flats, missing her beloved family pets.

After several years, she decided a life without dogs or cats was no life at all and after getting married to a fellow animal lover, she moved out of the big city to concentrate on her two passions; animals and writing.

Now, living in a house rather than a shoebox, Fiona happily spends her days writing, often with a pet on her lap for company and inspiration.

Percy the pug has found a loving home with Gail, Simon and their daughter Jenny. But now it's time for Percy's new puppies to fly the dog bed, and become a companion to someone in need - which turns out to be closer to home than the family first think...

On a visit to Gail's parents, Percy begins to suspect that all is not well with Eric, Gail's father. And when he suffers a nasty fall and is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Percy knows just who to send to the rescue - adorable pup Hugo.

Can Hugo help Eric through the tough times, and grow into the kind of Pug to make Percy proud?

Warm, charming and uplifting, A Puppy Called Hugo is perfect for fans of A Street Cat Named Bob and Alfie the Doorstep Cat.
