Description
Boris is a mop-haired spaniel with views (which he's rarely slow to express); Rory is the thinking dog's man. Rory has arrived in London and needs a job. Boris doubts he'll find one.
Wrong. Along comes Barney, the billionaire from Queensland. But what's Barney's real game? Certainly, it's subtle. Will Boris - or Rory - be able to thwart him? If they do, how will Barney react? Remember: He's Australian.
Then there's Rory's love life: The dating scene is hardly plain sailing. There is, though, Greta, his landlady's sister. How very concerned she is when he gets that horrid injury...
It's a bumpy ride for Boris on the love front too. He's met the beautiful mop-haired Elodie, but will they get it together? Elodie's owner seems to want them to and she's the French screen sensation Gabrielle Chantal.
It all comes to a head on a rainswept moor in Scotland. There... a hut. And a gallows.

•~Book review~•
✨It's been a long time since I posted here. Got caught up in some mental health issues, had to take a breather.
And do you know what or who helped me immensely?
My pet Indie dog Buro.
We pet lovers have this beautiful bond with our pets that is indescribable.
They are more than pets to us, they're like our brother/sister, like our friend.
They console us, love us and stay with us unconditionally.
And so I took up this light- hearted, humourous read, ✨A dog called Boris✨, arc courtesy by Netgalley.
I enjoyed it mostly, but not all of it.
✒️Written by P.D Innes, the story revolves around the protagonist Rory Campbell MacPherson, a Scottish person , patriotic and a devout SNP supporter and his pet mop hair spaniel named Boris. They relocate to London and several notable incidents throw into a whirlwhile of an adventure, that's laugh out loud interesting.
✨In this book you'll meet a lot of dogs and they are all sassy, speak sarcasm in volumes and exhibits dry humour. You'll get to see their worlds and their interactions with people and side characters.
The characters that work along the main protagonist are well created in relation to the protagonist.
✨ I felt that the storyline drooped a little in the middle and at the end and got absurd and silly, also all the stereotypical remarks at an obnoxious Australian character was to me, not at all amusing.
Perhaps, this book could be enjoyed fully by the local people familiar with the setting and Scottish people, also dog lovers.
There's a whole lot of reference to the Royal family of Britain that you'll not get to miss.
✨The dogs Boris, Amir, Olive, Elodie and several others are the star characters of this book and if you love dogs, go ahead and read it. The dogs will light your heart up and bring smiles on your face.🌼
