‘Captivating, and often moving … [A] gently humorous book, with stylishly lush illustrations by Molly Dyson … Read them in one go and the effect is about the same as drinking two glasses of champagne with your best friends.'

‘The book features 42 furry, bald, cuddly and fluffy four-legged friends, and is ideal for anyone who wants to delve into the relationship between humans and dogs. Canines in the book vary in breed, size and nature, with Carroll explaining how each dog embodies the best of human nature.’

Herald Sun

Since the dawn of time, dogs have been the number one source of joy in this world. This is a book about the very best of them.

Powerful dogs, mythical dogs, heroic dogs, talented dogs, literary dogs, dogs who have changed the course of history, and dogs who have set the internet ablaze.

Dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs.

From the deeply misunderstood Cerberus, the multi-headed hound of Hades, to Hachiko, Rin Tin Tin, and Duke—the thrice-elected mayor of Cormorant, Minnesota (who is an actual dog).

With words by Jadan Carroll and illustrations by Molly Dyson, (Definitely) The Best Dogs of all Time tells heart-warming, absurd, and informative stories of the most exceptional hounds to have bounded across the earth, their majestic tongues flowing in the breeze, and of the humans who love them.

‘Carroll writes about a selection of dogs with great affection and wit, accompanied by Molly Dyson’s wonderful artworks.’
