Synopsis

A beautifully poetic and gorgeously illustrated reflection on the relationship between dogs and humans. Dog is a stand-alone picture book of one of the most-loved stories from the bestselling and internationally acclaimed Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan, winner of the 2020 Kate Greenaway medal.

Once we were strangers, legs bent the wrong way, rough voices falling to the wind … but in our hearts we wanted more than this. In our hearts, we knew there was more.
