A DOG CALLED HOMELESS
A DOG CALLED HOMELESS is about loss, love and families - and how it sometimes takes a true friend to hear the things you don’t say.
‘My name is Cally Louise Fisher and I haven’t spoken for thirty-one days.’
When Cally Fisher sees her dead mother, bright and vivid and real as anything, no-one believes her. Not her dad who hasn’t been able to say her name since the day she died, not her brother who’s shut in his bedroom aiming for the highest score on Test Drive, and not the rest of her disappointed relatives. Disruptive at school, she’s losing all her friends and if no-one is listening what’s the point in talking?
The only other living soul that sees Cally’s mum is a homeless wolfhound who always seems to be there when her mum appears. But without a voice how will Cally convince anyone that her mum is still with them, and how will she ever persuade her Dad that the huge silver-grey dog is their last link with her?
