From nearly losing Kevin in the back gardens of suburban London to facing accusations of being highway robbers, from accidentally gate crashing a birthday party to meeting Amy Winehouse in the months before her untimely death, the funny, heartwarming and moving moments keep on coming.
The only question is: Will this earnest yet playful, boisterous yet lazy, demanding yet caring dachshund ever get the quiet life he seeks?
More Life as a Dog is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the “adorable” My Life as a Dog.

Her review, posted on her website, pointed out, as has everyone who has read the book so far, that More Life as a Dog can easily be read as a standalone, rather than only as a follow-on to the first book in the series: My Life as a Dog.
Emma added that this latest instalment made her feel “many emotions,” making her smile at times, but also “sad”.
Overall, she said: “I found More Life as a Dog a very touching and heart-warming read. The book is well written and a lovely read 4 stars. ”

In his full review, Andrew began by saying that “Kevin the dachshund has a little part of my heart after reading this heartwarming story.”
“I have two dogs of my own and I can relate to the blurred lines between loving and owning a dog. The author does a perfect job of adding humour to everyday tasks that are forever changed once you have a dog in your life.”
Andrew continues: “This book is well written and short enough to read in one sitting, which is perfect as you won’t want to put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Kevin, and will definitely be on the hunt for more by this author.”
We’re delighted you enjoyed it so much!!
