The Fur and Feathers Party Maggie Lawrence

For fans of Animal Farm, a quirky, humorous and moving modern-day fable for grown-ups, of love, loss, hope and heroism, as the animals take environmental damage into their own paws, claws and hooves.

This is an original, imaginative and entertaining novel set in a suburb of Sydney and Washington D. C. It tells the story of Pup, an abandoned Australian silky-haired terrier dog with low self-esteem, who joins forces with Cracker, a feisty Yellow-crested cockatoo with no time for wallowing, to get the Fur and Feathers Party of Australia into government in the U. S.

Pup has to overcome her low sense of self as she, and her irreverent cockatoo friend face dirty politics, romantic loss and betrayal in their quest to stop mankind from destroying their natural home.
