Sydney Morning Herald Dog Boy is rich in interest and ideasHornung is wonderful on the physical characteristics, both beautiful and repulsive, of animals and children Dog Boy unravels some of the reasons why humans and dogs are co-dependant and at the same time reinvents the idea of the wild child as an urban survivor, suggesting a future so menacing we prefer to ignore it.' Age Hornung's writing is beautiful and assured: her descriptions of this dog boy life are vivid and visceral and sensual and utterly compelling. She also writes about the dogs with breath-taking beautythe penultimate climactic scene will squeeze your heart.
