Críticas:

'It was amazing how this dog swam to a remote island and survived to be reunited with her family. All dog lovers should read this book.' -- Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human 'Inspiring and heart-warming, Sophie tells many stories: of family and friendship, of survival and loyalty and, most of all, of the exclusive bond between man and his best friend.' -- Bendigo Advertiser 'This is a story about survival, loyalty, family and what makes a dog tick.' -- Hobart Mercury 'A tender, delightful story of how a cosseted pup turned into a hardy, intrepid - and very lucky - "supercanine", this book will endear itself to dog and adventure lovers everywhere.' -- Publishers Weekly 'This story of canine loyalty and the power of human-animal relationships is as charming as its blue-furred heroine. A treat for dog lovers.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'It's an amazing story. What a pity dogs can't talk. I am sure Sophie's own tale of her survival, courage and strength would be amazing.' -- The Launceston Examiner 'Sophie's incredible story of survival is remarkable.' -- Sunday Tasmanian 'Think Lassie, Red Dog and now, Sophie. This cattle dog is a real-life hero.' -- The Sunday Telegraph, Australia 'An amazing, inspirational story of survival, loyalty and what binds animals and humans together.' -- Dog's Life, Ballarat Courier 'Heart-warming and well written, a wonderful Christmas gift for dog lovers or anyone who is inspired by the miraculous.' -- Burnie Advocate 'Heart warming. Highly recommended.' -- Sunshine Coast Daily 'A must read for any animal lover.' -- Toowoomba Chronicle 'Interwoven with images and filled with colourful details about her survival, Sophie's heart-warming, inspirational story is beautifully told in Emma Pearse's book.' -- Dog's Life

Reseña del editor:

The heart-warming tale of love and loyalty and one amazing dog, Sophie...As Jan and Dave Griffith motored out of Mackay Marina on their boat, Honey May, it was just another day in paradise. A weekend's sailing around the islands with Sophie, their blue cattle dog, and then home. But out at sea, the unthinkable happened. Sophie disappeared overboard and despite Jan and Dave's frantic search efforts, their beloved family pet was presumed lost at sea. For Jan and Dave it was hard to imagine ever getting over her loss. What followed is a truly extraordinary story of survival, luck and loyalty. The bonds between animals and humans are mysteriously strong and, in this case, a canine Robinson Crusoe was determined to beat the odds to return to her family - she was never going to be anyone's dog but theirs!
