Klappentext

A phenomenally moving animal adventure about acceptance, friendship and dogs!

Rhys is starting secondary school and everything is different. But when his puppy Whirly vanishes from the garden, it's all Rhys can think about. As he searches for Whirly, Rhys glimpses a familiar big, black Labrador in the shadows - his old friend, Worthington.

Comforted by Worthington, Rhys slips back into old habits, keeping secrets from those he's closest to. Then other neighbourhood dogs go missing. Rhys realises Whirly is in more danger than he thought, and time is running out to save him. With Worthington by his side, can Rhys learn to trust his friends to find Whirly, and bring him home?

Worthington is a heart-warming follow up to My Dog, but can also be read as a standalone story. Perfect for existing fans of My Dog, and brand-new readers alike!
