Every dog owner thinks they have the best dog. Nobody is wrong.

Markus Zusak – the beloved author of The Book Thief – returns to the page for the first time in seven years with a true-life tale of his three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs.

There are street fights, park brawls, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed.

There is also a great deal of love. Markus talks to Sally Pryor about the three hounds of chaos who changed him forever.

A night for anyone with a dog in their life, or the memory of a dog in their heart.
