When Rosie Lowry decided to take home Hagrid, a two-year-old Mastiff with health issues, little did she know what kind of a life journey she was embarking upon.

That journey was one of learning for both human and dog. In an effort to deal with Hagrid’s changing needs, Rosie had to venture into uncharted territory. Life with Hagrid was a rollercoaster ride, with experiences ranging from dealing with unwanted behaviour to more health issues than Rosie had thought possible! Working with vets, exploring complementary therapies, finding out more about diet, venturing into self-selection, Rosie’s journey included a foray into many of the practical issues surrounding dog guardianship. One key piece of advice leading from this: learn to question.

However, dealing with Hagrid’s physical needs of course was only one aspect: there was also the process of building a trusting relationship and overcoming emotional issues.

Even the everyday, ordinary aspects of life proved to be a challenge that Rosie had to rise to.

This book is Rosie and Hagrid’s story.
