Tiki. The Year of the Dog

What could possibly go wrong when getting a dog? This question is answered in a touching yet funny autobiographical story of Fred, his girlfriend Sophie, and their daughter Lou, who decided to adopt a puppy during the height of the second lockdown in November 2020. Tiki, a young and strong-willed Shiba Inu, turns the family's life upside down. Instead of the expected comfort and joy, they are faced with real chaos. Tiki not only becomes a test of resilience for their everyday life but also forces the characters to reassess their relationships, beliefs, and balance in life. This is the chronicle of one 'failed' adoption that touches on deep themes, evoking laughter and tears. With a postscript from Jacques-Charles Fombonne, president of the French Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA), this book is more than just a tale about a dog. It is a look at the complexities, joys, and changes that a pet brings into our lives. It is highly recommended to read before getting a dog!
