My Name is Gucci : A Dog's Story

After living in a Singapore dog shelter for five years, Gucci a vaguely Dalmatian-like crossbred is losing hope of ever being rescued. One day to his surprise he is adopted by her, a writer, and moves to inner city Sydney. On arrival, however, an anti-dog war breaks out in their apartment block; Gucci-s owner receives a letter threatening the possibility of -euthanasia-. The incident triggers nightmares in her and brings back distressing childhood memories.

My Name Is Gucci is a charming novel about the relationships between pets and their owners and about how the past shapes the present. This bold ex-shelter dog narrated fable beautifully unravels Gucci-s and his adopter /guardian-s secrets, which have been intertwined for decades through their recurring reincarnations.

Sun Jung understands the deep connections that exist between animals and humans. You won-t need to be a dog lover to be entranced by this story; it is brimming with warmth, wit and wisdom.
