Appreciative Paws is a sharp, playful pocket-book of comic verse that celebrates animals, people, and the glorious absurdities of everyday life.
From celebrity cats and rogue dogs to draughty doors, tea-room rebellions, and wry reflections on age, love, and society, Dick Hayes blends wit with warmth in tightly crafted rhyming verses.
Each poem is carefully structured, musical in its rhythm, and rich in character, balancing humour with moments of quiet insight. While many poems raise a smile, others linger thoughtfully, revealing a compassionate eye and a playful intelligence behind the laughter.
Light on its feet but rich in observation, this is a book to dip into, laugh aloud with, and return to whenever you need charm, mischief, and a knowing smile.
