A “charming memoir” with “many vivid descriptions of his beloved dog.” The writing is “fresh, appealing, and insightful,” with “elegant” phrasing. The BookLife Prize.
Kevin the dachshund has a little part of my heart after reading this heartwarming story…This book is well written and short enough to read in one sitting, which is perfect as you won’t want to put it down. Andrew Reads
This is a fun, light hearted read especially for any dog lover. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and…a short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or two with your favourite canine companion. Nicki’s Book Blog

Cover art
As for My Life as a Dog, the cover design for More Life as a Dog features a drawing I did of Kevin the Dachshund many moons ago. Yet I can remember the moment as clearly as if it was yesterday.
I was sat on the sofa with my sketch pad on my knees, in the mood to draw something, although I didn’t know what. Kevin lay beside me, tucked up against my thigh. All was quiet. Then there was a loud bang outside and he sat up and stared intently out of the window.
Seizing the opportunity to record a moment for posterity, and capture one of his most typical poses, I grabbed my sketch pad and started drawing, finishing just as he lay back down to go to sleep.
