Summary
From the number one Sunday Times best-selling author.
Meet the Hunter family: Adam, Kate and their children, Hal and Charlotte. And Prince, their black Labrador. Prince is an earnest young dog, striving hard to live up to the tenets of the Labrador Pact (Remain loyal to your human masters, serve and protect your family at any cost).
Other dogs, led by the Springer Spaniels, have revolted. As things in the Hunter family begin to go badly awry - marital breakdown, rowdy teenage parties, attempted suicide - Prince's responsibilities threaten to overwhelm him, and he is forced to break the Labrador Pact and take desperate action to save his family.

A story of what s hidden in families
Matt Haig is one of my faviourite authors and I do love the way his novels are so insightful about the human condition. Personally therefore, I did take a lot from this book (one of his earlier ones) however, there are some very difficult themes explored here and I think it might have been better to have been warned more about that before I listened to it - luckily I do usually listen on my own but this certainly isn't one to have on when children are around.

Matt aces it with the Mutt
Every 'page' of this is thoroughly enjoyable - in fact I'd bet that Matt Haig enjoyed writing this. I love the way he uses the dog characters to slyly raise the tension. I immediately 'fell for' the dog characters which are completely believable, as is their honour and bravery. On the other hand, it's easy to see how the humans are a lost cause, sliding irrevocably from stupidity to more stupidity.
I won't spoil the ending, except to say it's inevitable
I would so love a whole series of stories 'told by dogs' ( and so superbly narrated by one of those rare breeds - a clever human.

Paws for thought.
A sorry tail told from a dogs perspective.
Prince is the loyal Labrador of the Hunter family, who lives by the Labrador code. This code is to look after their family forsaking all others, which Prince does, however not always understanding the bigger picture.
It is a sad sorry, but equally uplifting in moments and has made me look at my Labrador collie cross differently.
The book Fluke by James Herbert is also written from a dogs perspective, which I can highly recommend if you want to try anther books like this.

Funny and sad
Any additional comments?
Really enjoyed this book. Funny and sad. Brilliantly written and I loved the narration. I couldn’t wait to see what happened..... whilst dreading it at the same time.

Amazing but sad
Such a sad story but an excellent tail (pun intended)
Gripping, fast paced, but sad.

Mediocre
I thought performance was ok and narrating ok, but story lacked and felt a bit silly. It was ok for a daily deal but nothing more.
