We are delighted to invite you to hear a conversation between Melanie Cheng and Michelle Wright as they discuss Wright's new book, Good Boy.

It's September 1997 and Cookie, an inmate in a minimum-security prison, is serving the last four months of his sentence when he signs up for a last-chance rehabilitation program for abandoned dogs. He's assigned Nigel-whom he renames Good Boy-an anxious soul with a talent for gnawing his way through walls. Cookie has his work cut out preparing him for the upcoming behavioural assessment that will decide his fate: pass, and Good Boy will be up for adoption and the chance of finding a loving home for the first time in his life; fail, and he will be put down.

Good Boy movingly explores the bonds between dogs and their humans, and how hope might move us beyond punishment and towards redemption.
