About this ebook
After a night of feasting on termites and ants, Pangolin bumps into Lion as she is returning to her burrow to sleep. Since she is not a fast runner, she has to think quickly to avoid being eaten. Being polite and gentle, she doesn’t want to harm Lion, so she decides to trick him instead. Aided unexpectedly by Dung Beetle, her deception proves successful and Lion soon rushes off to find Pangolin, who has been right under his nose all along. Once he is gone, the other animals come out of hiding and Pangolin learns that, despite being shy and solitary, she has more friends than she ever realised.
About the author
The Wildest Dog is a thought-provoking story from prize-winning author Avril van der Merwe. She drew inspiration from watching the antics of her seven-month-old German Shepherd puppy who she adopted from a shelter in April 2021. Avril began writing for children when she worked as a pre-primary teacher in Cape Town, and high school English teacher in Johannesburg. She lives in Washington State (USA), where she works as an inspirational writer and speaker, as well as an author of children’s, young adult and adult fiction, and poetry. Two of her short stories have been selected for an anthology for grades 4–7, to be published by Penguin Books in 2022.
