Gill Lewis - A Dog Named Pup

Gill Lewis is a highly acclaimed author of children's books featuring animals, environmental concerns, wildlife protection with a strong sense of social justice.

In her recent novel, A Street Dog Named Pup, she writes about dogs' relationships with their closest companions, humans - both the good and the bad. The story is presented through a dog's eye view of the world and like Anna Sewell's classic, Black Beauty, it prompts readers to evaluate how humans treat and exploit animals.

Gill talked to Nikki Gamble about why she wrote this compelling and poignant story.
