Doug the Pug is a charming little baggy dog. Here, he shares tales of his busy life as a working dog.
The author, Henry Brewis’ daughter Cate, is a Companion Animal Therapy Worker, and this book, aimed at children aged 7-10 explains the work of Cate’s therapy dog Doug.
Doug works with children in schools, engaging with them to help them feel secure and comforted, to be able to draw out any problems and facilitate talking about them. A particular focus of Doug’s work is to be there as children read, as they read to Doug. Doug’s work encourages children to see school as a positive environment and helps them develop empathy and reinforces positive social behaviour and self-worth.
This book is the story of how Doug goes about his work, what he is thinking about, and provides some of the stories of how Doug has helped people.

Doug the Pug is a wonderfully sweet natured little dog. As a Therapy Dog, he enjoys each and every one of his working days generously sharing warmth and kindness with all those who need a little tender loving care and special attention. And, when a special little person comes to read with him, he feels like life couldn't get any better!Doug's story is a sweet tale highlighting the joys of the human/animal bond and is based on Doug's genuine working life through the UK charity "Pets As Therapy". Cate and Doug have been working together, through Pets As Therapy, since 2011. Before this great partnership, Cate taught literacy and numeracy to children with learning differences and worked on a positive behaviour programme with those on the autistic spectrum. The book is written for junior school aged children, independent readers, and for those who enjoy reading with them. Pug lovers might like it too. In fact, anyone interested in the beautiful relationship between people and their companion animals might like it. The book's aim is to encourage us to be happy with who and what we are, celebrate each individual's differences and recognise that we all have something quite wonderful to offer. "Doug the Pug - A Working Dog's Tale" is illustrated throughout with charming colour photographs of Doug himself (by Cate) and enhanced with background drawings and illustrations creating a delightful mix of media. The graphic designer of this fabulous work is Alice Palace - www.alicepalace.co.uk Cate hopes that, through reading Doug's book, a greater understanding of companion animal therapy will be gained and funds raised may enable Pets As Therapy to further their good work. Pets As Therapy will receive all Royalties from every one of Doug's book purchased.
