If Jack Reacher were a dog, he'd be Lou' Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series 'When making your pile of 'best dog stories ever,' make space for another one.

It also makes me wonder how many vocabulary words my dog knows' Susan Wilson, author of One Good Dog 'There are so many accounts and testaments that verify beyond doubt that a dog is man's best friend. What makes this story special is that Lou, in terms of fate, was destined for a rough and unspectacular life. Lou and Steve found each other by sheer chance.

Unpredictable, heroic and funny...just like Lou' Monica Holloway, author of Cowboy & Wills: A Love Story 'Terrific true story about a trainer and behaviourist Steve Duno's very special dog of a lifetime. Nearly overlooked as a sickly, tic-infested stray, Lou becomes mentor, trainer, bodyguard, crime fighter, and career and life-changing friend.' Your Dog magazine
