‘You don’t have to carry the weight of the world in your tool belt.’
Annie Shearer lives in the country town of Upson Downs with her best friend, an adopted stray dog called Runt. The two share a very special bond.
After years evading capture, Runt is remarkably fast and agile, perfect for herding runaway sheep. But when a greedy local landowner puts her family’s home at risk, Annie directs Runt’s extraordinary talents towards a different pursuit – winning the Agility Course Grand Championship at the lucrative Krumpets Dog Show in London.
However, there is a curious catch: Runt will only obey Annie’s commands if nobody else is watching.
With all eyes on them, Annie and Runt must beat the odds and the fastest dogs in the world to save her farm.
Runt is a heart-warming and hilarious tale of kindness, friendship, hurdles, hoops, tunnels, see-saws, being yourself and bringing out the best in others.

Runt

Review by Alex
Charming, heartwarming & thoroughly enjoyable. I loved reading about Annie Shearer and her clever adopted stray, Runt. Halfway between “Babe” and “Matilda“, I laughed and wept throughout! Joyous and hopeful, Runt is a great read for a broad age-range.

Review by Rebecca
Heartwarming, funny, and joyful. Annie and stray dog, Runt, have a connection. He will only answer to Annie and not in front of other people! So when Annie enters the Agility Course Grand Championship in London she must find a way for Runt to perform in front of crowds.
