What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs? The answer can only be chaos. Purest comedy, shocking tragedy and unbelievable carnage.. not to mention the police visits.

And more... a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will and an explosion of love.

Three Wild Dogs and the Truth is an exquisitely written memoir from a truly great storyteller. It is a love letter to the animals who bring truth to our lives and change us forever.

Markus Zusak is the author of six novels, including The Messenger, Bridge of Clay and The Book Thief - one of the most loved books of the 21st century and a New York Times bestseller for more than a decade.  His work has been translated into more than 50 languages and been adapted for stage and screen. He has been awarded numerous honours around the world.
