With charming watercolour artwork and witty, soulful captions, It’s a Tough Job Being a Dog reminds us that behind every lick is plenty of hard-earned love.

In this tender and whimsical tribute to the quiet heroes in our homes, Iain Welch invites readers into the delightful world of his beloved canine characters.

From the quiet nobility of guarding the sofa to the daily drama of squirrels and surviving terrifying vacuum monsters, these dogs face life’s ups and downs with unwavering heart and wagging tails.

Perfect for dog lovers of all ages, this collection reminds us that while being a dog isn’t always easy, it’s always filled with love, loyalty and the occasional muddy pawprint. These charming stories, brought to life with delightful art, prove that being man’s best friend is no walk in the park.

Iain Welch is an artist and illustrator based in Herefordshire, England, with a lifelong passion for dogs. He began drawing canines at the age of three and has continued to create artwork centred around his love for dogs ever since.
