Description

The bonkers book that 'it is impossible not to be moved by' DAILY MAIL

A joyful and hilarious tale of some very spirited septuagenarians as they overcome innumerable obstacles to save their beloved mutt from a heartless exterminator in a land where bureaucracy reigns above all else.
Perhaps youre not a member of the Azov House of Culture Elderly Club

Perhaps you missed the talk on the Cabbage Root Fly last week

Galina Petrovna hasnt missed one since she joined the Club, when she officially became old. But she would much rather be at home with her three-legged dog Boroda. Boroda isnt hers exactly, they belong to each other really, and thats why she doesnt wear a collar.

And thats how Mitya The Exterminator got her.

And thats why Vasily Semyonovich was arrested.

And Galina had to call on Zoya who had to call on Grigory Mikhailovich.

And go to Moscow.

Filled to the brim with pickle, misadventure and tears, Galina Petrovnas Three-Legged Dog Story will leave you smiling at every page.
