Dog lovers rejoice! Angus MacDonald is here to set the record straight about the trials and tribulations of life as a small dog.

It’s not always biscuits, park trips and naps as Angus gets left outside, his biscuit bank gets closed — and then there are the dreaded trips to the groomer.

Angus MacDonald, the world’s most witty and disgruntled Scottish Terrier, takes center stage in this lovely little gift book for dogs of all ages.

A portion of the proceeds to be donated to Sheba’s Haven Dog Rescue, an organization in Kingston, Ontario which rescues palliative dogs with life-limiting, non-curative illnesses so that they can live out their lives in a well balanced, caring environment.
