‘A young guard dog raised by sheep finds himself plunged into an identity crisis. A chance encounter with a pack of displaced wolves unleashes a chain of events that sends him on a journey of self-discovery. Told through the perspective of the animals, and with a guard dog as its protagonist, it's an adventure story for all ages, rooted in the age-old conflict between instinct and domestication.’
from the publishers
‘Wild Thing is an intriguing quest, a canine road-movie, full of life, depth, passion and setbacks. The action, relationships, and affiliations between the characters build an intelligent chain of events until the final resolution.
Clayton masters dialogue, glances, movement, and timing like a few others. This special sort of storytelling gives Wild Thing all its relevance, power, and uniqueness.’
