a lot of fart jokes and casual sexism but the dog is cute and
the last chapter is devastating

A story about a famous Australian stray dog and his "adopted" owners and friends and his adventures in Australia. This novella is a short and powerful read (with some animal cruelty scenes, just be warned) about an incredible dog who lived as a vagabond and was accepted in a small mining town by (most of the) locals, even having his own bus seat. A really powerful story about how animals and people can bond and how a small community can be the found family of a stray.

It's not the best written book I've read, but I loved it. I'm a sucker for dog stories!

I enjoy reading Australian stories with Australian slang and colloquialisms. A simple little story about the dog who is everyone's :)
