Book Review : The Dog who saved the World by Ross Welford


Let us begin with apparently another of Ross Welford’s books, ‘The Dog Who Saved the World’. No previous knowledge of his books, but if they are as exciting as this one, then you can be sure, that I plan to get them all.

Georgie, who lives with her dad, brother and plus her father’s girlfriend Jessica. And that’s not all; she has a best friend called Ramzy and a best dog friend, Mr Mash. Regrettably, she cannot keep Mr Mash at home due to Jessica having an allergy to them. Georgie also works for a dog rest home, where Mr Mash lives; it is an old church the called St Woofs, where they look after unwanted dogs.

Jessica could be great example, since she is a brilliant scientist. But unfortunately, she isn’t Georgie’s own mother. Though Georgie does not like her presence at home, she must survive it. The family likes her, but it takes time for only Georgie to even like her presence.

Now, let’s come to her best friend, Ramzy Rahman. His family had fled a warzone and life in the UK is nothing like it was back, home. The poor guy is left with wearing the same shirt, day after day, and left hungry due to surviving on the same food, that he must share with his siblings. But, he is an upbeat kid and bright enough to survive the adventures, which are all a part of this story.

One day, when Georgie is on a walk with her dog and Ramzy, she comes across Dr Emilia Pretorius. Dr Pretorius seems to be some sort of an unusual mastermind, with a slightly casual attitude to the personal welfare of other folks. She’s built an astonishing Virtual Reality gadget that can transfer people into a plausible future. She just wants some enthusiastic kids to help her try it out.

Now, the enthusiastic children do not realise that they would become test subjects for the 3D version of the future! Tension is building, when a dreadful disease that is spread by dogs breaks out, which is lethal for humans too. Almost all dogs are under threat, and so is Georgie’s treasured dog, when it falls really sick.

The ability to time travel into the future suddenly becomes more than a game, it becomes reality… Georgie must do something about it, and together with her two best friends, she must devise a plan to save all dogs and humans too.

Jessica is one of the scientists working on the challenge and reveals that it could take close ton a year, for them to find the cure. How do they speed up this process? If they travel to the future could they possibly find it? Dr Pretorius has a strange life too. And how exactly does her life lead on? But unfortunately, Dr Pretorius has a heart attack, and it becomes necessary to get her from the hospital, as she is the only one, who can control her gadget.

oss So, will they take the help of Georgie’s brother? Will he help out and will they manage to get her out on time? Will they reach the spot, where the machine is kept? Can Georgie, Ramzy and Mr Mash save the world? Will Mr Mash be cured?

What could be more fun than seeing herself in the future, whom she ends up meeting, or perhaps a few of the future beings, whom she ends up seeing and the shops and stores, all set into the future? It’s all exciting folks, and coupled with a lot of jokes and comic features with the dogs and docs and scientists, the fun can only go on…
