Hubble & Hattie as pups

For over nineteen years, the folks at Veloce have concentrated their publishing efforts on all-things automotive. Now, in a break with tradition, the company launches a new imprint for a new publishing genre!

The Hubble & Hattie imprint – named in memory of the two, much-loved West Highland Terriers who gave Veloce’s proprietors Rod Grainger and Jude Brooks so much love and stoical friendship – will be the home of a range of books that cover all things animal; be these dogs, cats, horses, rabbits or elephants – all produced to the same high quality of content and presentation as our motoring books, and offering the same great value for money.

Our first book under the new imprint was Winston ... the dog who changed my life, the touching story of how the author rather unexpectedly becomes a dog owner when his wife returns home with a puppy that she found abandoned and tied to a cemetery headstone. Winston quickly takes over the life and home of his new owner – introducing him to a completely new world in the process! Described as “An enchanting story . . .” by Graham Bell of The Daily Express.

This book was soon followed by Know Your Dog – The guide to a beautiful relationship, Smellorama! – nose games for your dog, My Dog is Blind - but lives life to the full! and Waggy Tails & Wheelchairs, with many more titles planned.

Our books are intended to promote understanding and compassion between species, dealing with the subject of animal welfare in an holistic and insightful way, bringing benefit to the animals concerned and the people who live and work with them.

We would love to hear what you think about our Hubble & Hattie books, your ideas for new books and, if you´re a budding author, your book proposal.

To cute. xx
