Description

Waiheke Westies – Jock and Lassie At The Market

Follow the adventures of these two West Highland Terriers in their book, Waiheke Westies – Jock and Lassie At The Market.

Jock and Lassie live with the author and her husband on Waiheke Island, which lies about twenty kilometres offshore from Auckland, New Zealand.

The two dogs are brother and sister from the same litter.

Lassie is usually the more cautious and wiser of the two, while Jock is rather reckless, typically getting himself into all sorts of scrapes.

Of course, Jock rarely takes heed of his sister’s warnings and lands himself in all sorts of bother.

In this book, Jock and Lassie are exploring Waiheke Island’s Ostend Market with their mistress, Anne, and her granddaughter, Finley.

As usual, Jock has a misadventure, which does not surprise his sister, Lassie.

Vibrant illustrations by local artist, Sally Ewins, add extra fun and life to a tale that will appeal to children, and dog lovers of all ages.
