Doug is one of four dogs to be awarded 'Most Heroic Hound' this coming weekend at The National Pet Show!

Not only does Doug help children with their reading, he also visits the elderly in care homes and makes a REAL difference to people’s lives.

I designed and illustrated Doug's book - you can read the tales of Doug’s busy life as a working dog in his book…

‘I am so so pleased with all of the work that Alice has done. Alice has brought everything to life so beautifully and so sympathetically. I appreciate that it has been a much much bigger job than she ever imagined - me too! I am so grateful that I saw her lovely wrapping paper in Waterstones in the King’s Road, all those many moons ago, and thought ‘That’s It!’ I just knew instinctively that the style was what I had been looking for and so glad that she took me on!’ Cate

‘Doug is a working dog who works with children in the classroom. This is an amusing, heartwarming, informative book which is well illustrated. It is aimed at junior school children and they will love the book and Doug. I understand that the royalties received for this book will go to the Pets as Therapy Charity.’

‘This is not only a charming book about a charming dog, but an inspirational book for kids. The children at my local school love reading the book to my Pets As Therapy dog. Teachers at the school find it such a valuable resource, they say every school should have a copy!’
