My Real Dog

Some kids wish for brand new bikes
For fancy dolls or belts with spikes
But as for me I’ve always known
I need a dog to call my own.

Celebrating those dogs that don’t bark, or steal food, or roll in smelly things.

My Real Dog is the perfect story for anyone who has ever wished for a real dog – but found themselves with a toy dog instead. Because what does a ‘real dog’ really mean anyway?

Written and illustrated by Emily Joe

Reviews

Poetry Box ~ I love the design, the blue orange colour palette, and the doggy endpapers that would have been perfect wallpaper on my bedroom as a child.  The parents have a thousand reasons why their child can’t have a dog – although I note they are wearing excellent dog walking shoes!

About the Kiwi creator

Emily Joe is an author, art director and animal lover based in Auckland, New Zealand. For Emily, inspiration is never very far away, sometimes even in her own backyard or lounge room, thanks to the crazy antics of her two chickens and two cats, who make sure there’s rarely a dull moment in the Joe household.
