The first five star review for Ian's first children's book, just 2 hours after having it published!: "This is a heartwarming story about a little sled dog who finds the perfect family, but then they give him away. I think anyone should read this short story!" A. Elliott
5 stars: "What a great way of teaching our children the right and responsible attitude towards pet care. They are for life, not for now. Well written, great colourful illustrations and delivered in what is becoming typical of this author, straightforward and without being harsh. A fabulous and necessary addition to every child's library." V. Hampton
5 stars: "Great book, it's written well with a wonderful appeal to Children and adults alike. It has an honest and heartfelt message to its readers that resonates. The illustrations are beautiful and compliment the story brilliantly. Will happily read more!" E. McDougall

"This was a great read, Claire Puttock. Thanks for sharing. Something I will get my kids to read when they're old enough. Education is the key."
"Great book, very important message."
"Want to get a puppy for Christmas? Would recommend that you get this puppy! A great book by Ian Luke...This is yet one more great way to advocate for dogs. :) "
"Awesome idea Ian Luke!"
"Head over and read this short story! Fantastic!"
"FREE BOOK DOWNLOAD!!!Here is a book written by our good friend Ian Luke, a Melbourne based dog lover, canine welfare advocate and accomplished author.
Ian hopes this will help to prevent puppies being sold in pet shops, and stop the impulse buying that is at the core of the pet shop puppy trade. This trade in turn fuels the massive companion animal farming market.Well said Ian, and thanks for your hard work. Purhaps the #PIAA should take note?"
"Well done Ian Luke!! It sends out a very powerful message. My girl Mika was a pet shop puppy. We are now her 4th and final home. It breaks my heart to see all these poor pups bought on impulse by people who have done no research on the breed and then give them up when they misbehave."
