Publisher's Summary:
Nestled away amongst the olive groves of the Tuscan hillside stands a welcoming villa where a dedicated dog finds his way into the hearts of vacationing families. Sole has one purpose, to make visitors happy. He is kind and sensitive. Sole takes his job as The Villa Dog seriously. His bravery and loyalty are often rewarded. He keeps the children out of harm's way, and eventually the others become aware of his special ability to bring happiness.
But it's not always easy being The Villa Dog. A young girl, Issy, makes it tough. She's so sad. Can Sole find out why? Or, will he fail his purpose for staying at the villa and disappoint his master? Being the Villa Dog can be hard work, but he's on a mission, and he'll stop at nothing to see Issy smile.

My kids and I enjoyed reading this book out loud.
Everyone will love The Villa Dog!
For a brief time, I was transported to Tuscany! The canine POV was unique and enjoyable, the storyline moved along so that I wanted to find out what was going on with all of the characters (including Kiltie), and it truly was heartwarming and beautiful. This story will be embraced by young and old, pet lovers and travelers, and those just looking for a good story. Great book!
A great story for kids and adults
A great story for kids and adults - the author creatively details not only the human and canine emotions, alternating humorous and dramatic elements, and treating sensitively the more serious life events, but also makes you feel as if you are right there, present in every scene. Dog lovers, travel lovers, Italy lovers - you'll really enjoy this book!
Fantastic Book for All Readers!
After reading "Villa Dog," my heart felt a little warmer...it shows how our lives can be lifted by others. Even those with four legs. Great job and I encourage readers of ALL AGES to get your own copy to have and to share.
