There’s not much better than curling up with a good book - except maybe if it's also with a cuddly dog and it's a great book about a lovable or heroic dog. Here’s a list of some feel-good, exciting, triumphant or funny reads to share with your dog. 

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Lassie Come-Home by Eric Knight

Few realise that this heroic Collie was first brought to life by Eric Knight in a 1938 newspaper story, then a novel in 1940. Knight, who himself had a rough Collie was reported to have based the story on a 1924 true event where a dog travelled vast distances to be reunited with family. The first novel, Lassie Come-Home tells of Lassie’s long and miraculous journey home to the boy she loves. There are many subsequent books in the series detailing Lassie's bravery that you and your dog will love to sink your teeth/fangs into.

A novel of adventure and fairytale. Although not a main character, Nana, the Newfoundland, is the nanny and friend of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling. Nana was based on Barrie and his wife’s own Newfoundland named Luath but in screen adaptations the character became a Saint Bernard.
