SUMMARY
Archibald Mc Puppy is the worthy descendant of a fine pedigree of top-notch guard dogs. Having just graduated in Guarding, Barking and Deterrent Growling, he is assigned to watch over a… defunct factory. Very determined, even zealous, he fulfils his mission with seriousness, giving his voice whenever possible. One morning, in front of a suspicious box, he is about to face the threat. Turning the box upside down, he discovers… four fragile and cute kittens. Stunned, he forgets to be terrifying! Because underneath his tough exterior, Archibald hides a tender heart. This is how Archibald’s life began to change…
SPIRIT OF THE BOOK
In Gaëlle Duhazé’s books, every character has an inner life, desires and weaknesses. And it is often the surprises of reality that lead him to face them rather than to bury them further.
Here, Archibald, a pedigree dog predestined for guarding, meets abandoned kittens. Against all expectations (and first of all against himself), he takes them under his wing and finds himself more fulfilled. Together, developing their mutual capacity for empathy with the world around them, they even form a modern and welcoming choir.
