The The Quite Very Actual Adventures of Worzel Wooface by Catherine Pickles

Worzel is an enormous Lurcher with 'issues.' When a disastrous turn of events means he has to be rehomed, his life changes dramatically. Now, as well as dealing with his own issues, he's got to deal with a distinctly imperfect family. And cats. Shed loads of cats; some of whom aren't that pleased to welcome him into their home ...

contains many touching moments but it also deals with the trials and tribulations of a rescue dog with honestyLost and Fond and Winnie's Blog Hubble and Hattie are responsible, as was paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey a century before, in publicizing one of the great achievements of 21st Century scholarship. Worzel Wooface is another perfect observer. As Ethologist Jane Goodall approached her study of Tanzanian Chimpanzees, Worzel Wooface came to the Pickles of Southwold - 'with a mind uncluttered and unbiased by theory.' Geelong Obedience Dog Club a beautifully written, witty, funny, heart warming book which really draws you into the heart of Worzel's adopted family of humans (and cats) ... THIS WAS A BOOK THAT I COULDN'T PUT DOWN! Amazon.co.uk Highly recommended for giggles, a great book for a chuckle but with a serious message about the importance of pets becoming family and the effort required to take on such a huge responsibility. Can't wait for book 2 Amazon.co.uk Beautifully written, extremely witty and heart-warming throughout ... I literally couldn't put it down! Dog Training Weekly An enjoyable, hilarious read naturallyhappydogs.com. The book is 140 pages long and is presented in a diary-entry style, starting from the day that Worzel first arrived. Worzel's hilarious narrative, often echoing the exasperated expressions from the 'hoomans' around him, consists entirely of his own take on English. Far from causing difficulties in 'actual understandings' of the book, this somewhat peculiar writing style provides many of the laugh out loud moments. Yet hidden amongst all the giggles is the serious side of the story. In this sense, the book is a tribute to other rescue animals who may have not necessarily had the best start in life, but are now living life to the full thanks to the patience and efforts of their new families. – Grace Clarke.

Catherine Pickles is a full-time family carer, writer and blogger. Her blog about Worzel reached the final of the UK Blog Awards in 2015. Worzel Wooface is a Hounds First Sighthound Rescue dog who likes walking, spending time with his family, and chasing crows when given the opportunity. His current hobby is chewing wellies on unmade beds. He lives in Suffolk. Catherine has fostered numerous sighthounds for Hounds First Sighthound rescue. Her hobbies include sailing, walking, gardening and amateur dramatics, most of which she likes to do with Worzel (apart from gardening, but she doesn't have much choice about it, and the amateur dramatics, which he would hate). She, too, lives in Suffolk, with her husband, two nearly grown up children, and five cats.
