We’re falling head over paws with excitement at seeing our little Basil as a cover star thanks to personalised book company Itsyourstory.co.uk

Basil’s front cover debut is an example of their Christmas book called ‘Christmas Wishes from ...', which can be personalised to feature a dog or any other kind of pet in a series of festive-themed poems addressed to their owner making it the pawfect gift to express 'their' gratitude for all the walks, treats and cuddles bestowed upon them. Superbly playful, we love this kind of thing, as it brings back childhood  memories of our favourite book, which was a personalised version of Mother Goose starring yours truly, my Dalmatian Faith and the neighbours' Border Collie Suzy. That book was read over and over until it fell apart at the seams. Dog-lovin' clearly started at an early age!

Infinitely better than a Christmas card simply log onto Itsyourstory.co.uk, upload a photograph of your chosen pet and they will feature on the front cover and in every illustration. Their name will also be included in the rhymes and on the cover – you can even personalise a message at the front of the book. What’s more, £1 from each £14.99 sale will be donated to the UK’s largest dog welfare charity Dogs Trust - high paws! The last date for Christmas orders is 18th December.
