Dogs of London intertwines loosely the various stories of a group of urban-living dogs and their Londoner humans, set in Kensington Gardens and around. The book is a soothing respite from the fraught, conflict ridden world we live in, an uplifting, heartfelt, insightful, apolitical romp around the everyday in our city, set in a time pre Covid induced restrictions and lockdown puppies. It is an ode to dogs everywhere – their resilience, their optimism and their ability to build bridges between people of all ages and demographics.

Grey, desperate to leave his heartless owner runs away, only to end up in a worse predicament. Rhett, haunted by his past, defies convention by living a life aloof from humans. Anxious, traumatised Beagle slowly gains in confidence thanks to his new friendship pack. Rolf, Piper, Kip and Lexi breeze through life. Nero’s fate hangs in the balance. Sarah is dying. Their humans are a whole other story.

£ to charity for Dogs of London

Dogs of London is a self-funded and self-published novel for adults. 100% of the proceeds go to dogs in need, to the following three charities who do even more than rescuing, sheltering and rehoming dogs in dire conditions. Details of funds transferred to them will be transparently and publicly posted regularly on this page.

Update: disappointingly little made so far but plan to at some point do a PR push and shift some author copies which will make more ££ (£7.99-£4 per book), Amazon unfortunately take the lion’s share (a lesson learned) and Dogs of London unfortunately hasn’t gone viral – yet! 😉
