Book Synopsis

Keeping pets is a lovely idea. When building a family, they complement the kids. But what happens when things get out of hand?

For writer and house husband, Matt Whyman, it''s a case of catastrophe management in coping with four children and all the ill-advised animals amassed by his career wife, Emma.

Just as Matt gets to grips with managing her two maxed out minipigs, she falls for a miniature Dachshund - the kind of dog he wouldn''t be seen dead with.

Hercules isn''t big or clever, but Emma is determined. She''ll do everything, she promises...


From the author of Pig in the Middle
