If you've buckled to the family requests of getting a dog but are worried it could affect your "already" fragile mental health keep reading...

If you're a dad, who struggles with his mental health, firstly I'm really sorry to hear that and you're not alone. If you're a dad with an already busy family, who like me, recently agreed to get a dog then this book is definitely going to be for you. Are you concerned this big bundle of fluff might mean you're woken up even earlier? Then your spidey senses are on the money, that said as this book will explain, this canine alarm clock may be the answer to your prayers. Are you anxious that all this extra work and financial responsibility might damage your mental health? If any of these concerns resonate with you, don't worry; you're in safe, albeit slightly doggy smelling hands. James Macdonald is a happy and sometimes calm dad of four (3 humans 1 dog).
