Alfie's Diary

By Rosemary Kind

Alfie Dog, the founder of the Pet Dogs Democratic Party and champion of the rights of the underdog, brings you Alfie's Diary - Dog enough not to be human, human enough to be a pet. - Alfie has written his diary as an internet blog since the age of 10 weeks old, developing a growing, loyal reader base and has now pulled together the best of the first year of his diary in book form. His diary presents an entertaining and thought provoking dog's eye view of the world. His book follows his considerations of career options for dogs and his concerns that discrimination legislation needs to be extended to cover his species. He dismisses the usual occupations for Swiss Mountain Dogs, based primarily on his dislike for both bad weather and hard work and instead sets himself up as the self styled leader of his own political party.
