My Dog Max

Ava's desire for a dog leads her on a touching journey of companionship and love in My Dog Max, where she finds her perfect match in Max.

In My Dog Max, award-winning illustrator Alex Ayliffe collaborates with talented screenwriter and author Alan Dapré to craft a charming picture book. This delightful story revolves around a little girl named Ava, who yearns for a dog of her own. With relatable themes of companionship and love, the narrative captures the essence of childhood dreams and desires.

Ava's enthusiastic declaration, I LOVE DOGS! echoes throughout the pages as she expresses her longing for a furry friend. Despite her parents' concerns about the responsibilities of dog ownership, Ava remains undeterred. She imagines all kinds of dogs—big, small, saggy, or waggy—and finds creative ways to cope with her disappointment, even fashioning a dog from recycled materials.

The turning point arrives when Ava visits the DOGGY DEN, a rehoming center filled with dogs in need of love. There, she meets Max, a gentle giant with a heartbreaking past. Their heartwarming adventure unfolds as Ava and Max discover the true meaning of friendship and companionship. My Dog Max is not just a story about wanting a pet; it’s a touching exploration of love, empathy, and the joy that comes from giving a home to those in need.
