A famous Sidmouth dog and owner are due to release a new children's book this April.

Martin Jennings-Wright and Toto have co-written a children's new book called Teej! Toto Gets it Wrong.

The synopsis says: "Toto’s a dog with a lot of personality but very little clue.

"He and his pal Monty spend their days getting up to various scrapes in their seaside hometown.

"One day, a bruising encounter with a biffing great Boxer dog leads to a series of ever more farcical misunderstandings for Toto, much to Monty’s guffawing delight.

"The day sees Toto get himself into a bother as he goes round town trying to put things right, but only ending up more and more muddled.

"But does he let his misfortunes get on top of him? Well, yes, he does.

"But not for long! With a spoonful of spring and a dollop of doggedness, he goes from never failing to get it wrong to managing, somehow, someway, to get it right. And he learns a valuable thing or two about friendship along the way." 

Martin Jennings-Wright spends part of his week working in Toto’s of Sidmouth, a little dog shop named after his Jack Russell/Poodle cross, Toto.

When not supplying local dogs with the toys of their dreams, Martin is a freelance writer.

Martin Jennings-Wright said: “I write a monthly local newspaper column (in the Sidmouth Herald) from the perspective of my pet dog, Toto.

“In it, he talks about his latest adventures, which usually end up with him failing to grasp a situation and getting very confused in the process.

“Such is the warmth of the response from the paper’s readership that I started to think about giving Toto a proper literary outing.”

The book is published with Leciestershire-based The Book Guild Publishing. 

Publication date for Teej! Toto Gets it Wrong is April 28. Priced at £8.99, the book is available to pre-order and will be on sale at WH Smiths.
