My Dog Pig Loves the Snow

Pig is a Newfoundland that creates havoc when he goes to the snow. The story is told by a little boy called Sam, who leaves out many of the details because he only sees the positives in his lovable pet. The illustrator is left to fill us in with the real story of destruction. Sam’s mother is very embarrassed about the mayhem created by her dog called Pig. She is a single mum who is trying to keep things together with her small family but unfortunately has little control over their large dog. The journey begins as the family and their dog head to the snow fields. It’s been a big day of trouble for Mum, but Sam and Pig had a ball!
