Underdogs: How a man and a street dog form an unbreakable bond and a lifechanging friendship

“This is a book about a friendship between two people – except one of them is a dog. Brendan – he came with his name – a former street dog who crept into my life when I needed him, changed it around to suit himself and then had a nap.”

Gray Freeman didn’t want a dog, but he met Brendan whilst volunteering at an animal sanctuary. Brendan slinked up onto his knee, curled up and went to sleep: that was the start of their beautiful friendship. They were both underdogs; life had kicked them while they were down. Together they were more than the sum of their parts. They embarked upon a journey of discovery around Britain: a life-changing tour which would ensure that they either stayed together forever… or never spoke again.

Underdogs is funny, light-hearted, sometimes poignant, often heart-warming. It is about a journey and about over-coming adversity.

It is about the challenges of adopting a damaged soul and the joys of spending every day with your best friend.
