Book Description

11 Oct 2012

Earlier this year, a dog danced his way into the history books as the first canine winner of Britain's Got Talent. En route to the title, Pudsey and his owner Ashleigh Butler won over Walliams, delighted Dixon, stole the heart of Holden, and utterly captivated Cowell. They charmed the nation, too - with millions of viewers tuning in to see them take the crown.

But what do we really know of Pudsey's journey to stardom? How did he get from being a depressed dog to the mutt of the moment? In this, the most unusual celebrity book of the year, he's finally ready to tell his tale.

As a young pup, Pudsey always knew he was somehow different to his dog-standard peers. While his brothers and sisters contented themselves with chasing their tails, he sat apart, yearning for something more. With the help of the menagerie of pets that fill the Butler household and despite some dastardly opposition threatening to stop him at every turn, Pudsey managed to achieve his dream. This Autobidography tells the story of his incredibly journey, straight from the dog's mouth.

Book Description

The most charming shaggy dog story you'll ever read.

From the Inside Flap

What can happen when you stop chasing your tail, and start chasing your dream?

Earlier this year, a bundle of endless energy and cool choreography called Pudsey bounded onto our TV screens with his owner and best friend Ashleigh Butler and made history as the first dog to win Britain's Got Talent. He wowed with his walking, delighted with his dancing, and his camaraderie with Ashleigh charmed the nation. But what do we really know of his journey to stardom? In this, the most extraordinary celebrity memoir of the year, Pudsey is finally ready to tell his story.

Born into the menagerie of animals that fills the Butler household, Pudsey always knew he was different to his dog-standard brothers and sisters. Never content with the walk-eat-sleep routine, he felt in his bones that he was destined for the stage. With no small amount of help from his fellow pets, and despite some dastardly opposition threatening to thwart him at every turn, he made it. And his Autobidography reveals for the first time exactly how he did it.

It's the bona fido story, straight from the mutt's mouth. So sit down, stay a while, and you'll find out exactly howl the people's pooch made it to the big time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pudsey more than a shaggy dog story 12 Oct 2012
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book with low expectations, expecting him to be all bark and no bite but this is much more than a shaggy dog story - this is the tail of one dog's dream to be on the stage and his courageous battle with his doubts over his sexuality.
These doubts have been well documented elsewhere but this part of the book was so touching and heartfelt it made me weep openly.
Also the part where he realises he can't be taken out for walkies now he is so famous and he calmly crosses his legs without so much as a whimper was incredibly moving and well written.
From humble beginnings to talk of Hollywood Pudsey has remained a simple mutt at heart happy to let his incredible talent speak for itself but this worms-and-all look at modern celebrity culture is a must have for all dog lovers

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book by a wonderful dog. 23 Jan 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for myself when it was first published and got it just in time for Christmas(I live in The Bahamas and delivery can be erratic).I read the book in one sitting and enjoyed it so much I read it again the following day. Pudsey's amanuensis has done a wonderful job of setting the right tone of whimsy and believability. Any dog lover will adore this book and many cat lovers as well, I suspect.
