Three Wild Dogs (and the truth)

'Their anatomy - and more so, their spirit - hears many things, but at its centre it listens for you. It almost makes up for everything. The deaths, the attacks, the cover-ups. Only a fool would do it again . . .'This is the story of three troublesome rescue dogs - and how even the most incorrigible of animals can become family. Poignant, funny and disarmingly honest, Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a dog lover's memoir from one of the world's most beloved storytellers: bestselling author of The Book Thief, Marcus Zusak.What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs - Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour.Through shortcomings and failure, willpower and an explosion of love, Reuben, Archer and Frosty become family. Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and adventure straight to our doors, and into our lives.'Funny and charming . . . A stirring tale of the bond that can form between human and hound' - The Times
