There once was a dog called Doris who was practically perfect in every way. She was always awake on time, never forgot to fetch her owner's slippers in the morning and knew how to do all her tricks. Until one day, something not-so-perfect happens and Doris panics. Will my owner be sad? Or angry? Or think I'm a bad dog?But with a little help from some new friends, she learns to accept that she doesn’t have to be perfect all the time and it’s normal to get things wrong.

A charming and emotionally sensitive picture book about perfectionism and the power in being proud of getting things wrong. From the creator of The Cat Who Couldn't Be Bothered, shortlisted for the Indie Book of the Year 2024 and longlisted for the Klaus Flugge Award 2025.
