Children’s Book “My Dog Hank” Tells a Family’s Story Through a Kid’s-Eye View of Their Dog

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Jason Grove has released "My Dog Hank," a children’s picture book narrated from a child’s point of view about life with a family dog who’s, as the opening line puts it, always up to something. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.

According to the Google Books listing, the story is told in the kid’s own voice, cataloguing Hank’s antics, the occasional disagreements he causes between Mommy and Daddy, and the simple fact that he’s been part of the family for as long as the young narrator can remember. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction.

Having entertained his own children with imaginative tales for years, Grove sought to capture that family dynamic in written form. "I wanted to share the adventures that make our family life so vibrant and entertaining," he said. "Hank isn’t just a pet; he’s a character in our everyday story, and I’m thrilled to introduce him to readers everywhere." The publisher describes the book as centered on companionship and the bond between a child and a pet, with Hank framed as a dog any kid would be lucky to have.

"My Dog Hank" is available in paperback and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees a familiar but durable formula here: the family pet as supporting character in a child’s narration. Books built around that premise tend to find their audience less through marketing than through parents reading them aloud more than once.
