A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT US


Judith Brooks with her dog Immie and Veloce Publishing co-director Rod Grainger check one of the new Hubble and Hattie range of animal-themed books. Picture by James Dadzitis.

The Hubble & Hattie imprint is devoted to animals and takes its name from two West Highland White terriers that directors Judith and Rod used to own.

Judith said: "While the subject matter is animals these are not lightweight fluffy kitten books. They are about the understanding and relationships that develop between species. We hope as well as telling good stories they are useful and insightful. We're very proud of the quality that we want all our books to radiate."

NEW BOOK! MY DOG IS BLIND - BUT LIVES LIFE TO THE FULL!

My dog is blind – but lives life to the full! by Nicole Horsky is out now and available to buy!

It can seem like the end of the world when the vet tells you that, sadly, your beloved dog is going blind; it’s natural to put yourself in their place and imagine how catastrophic this news would be ...

But with life-changing events such as these, there’s one essential difference between the human and canine species: dogs won’t waste too much time feeling sorry for themselves, or asking “why me?” After taking stock, they will – with your help – adapt and get on with the joyful business of living.

This invaluable book will sympathetically show the owner of the newly-blind, or already blind dog that their loyal friend is still the same, with the same zest for and enjoyment of life. With love and careful thought, you and your dog can get as much out of life as you always have, having fun and establishing an even closer bond as you help each other find new or adapted ways to live together.
