        From Swiss mountain ranges to small-town Canada, across urban and rural landscapes, local and faraway. These stories - of fictitious canines, portrayed in many different circumstances, as their 'jobs' dictate or their conditions demand - take the reader on countless memorable journeys that amazingly are also able to reflect that 'vast, often unfathomable melting-pot of human emotions and intentions'. Celebrate this compelling variety of tales written by ten different authors who were selected as the best from a large number of submissions to the 2015 Ouen Press 'working dogs' short story competition.

Pat Morgan who was a sergeant in Paul’s platoon, runs a butcher’s shop in town and cares for his twin brother, Mick who lost both legs in the war. Pat yearns for the closeness he experienced with Paul in the trenches. Set in a time when homosexuality was ‘the love that dare not speak it’s name’ the story develops against the backdrop of the strict moral code of the period.

Superbly written with engaging characters that are simultaneously strong and weak, compassionate and flawed. The book is a controversial but compulsive read and readers will find their sympathies tugged in unusual directions as they engage with the lives of the characters. The Boy I Love is the first of a two book series – in the second book, based in World War 2 we following the life of Mick, now a war poet, his son and Robbie, son of Paul and Margot.
