The Dog with the Golden Paws

A stray dog finds a family who takes it in and it becomes the family pet. What follows is an exciting story of how this pet turns their lives around and what lengths they have to go to in order to keep it. Will the family succeed? The Dog with the Golden Paws is also about the love that exists between humans and dogs and the enrichment that a pet brings into people's lives.

Poet Peter Skrzynecki and his artist son Andrew have collaborated on a story set in Australia's colonial history. Its narrative and illustrations will appeal to children and adults alike.
