'After 62 years of waiting the Western Bulldogs Football Club came from seventh place on the AFL ladder to win the 2016 premiership. They are still celebrating. This book provides the authentic voice of that Bulldogs community. Written by 33 ordinary everyday Bulldogs fans from all walks of life, The Doggies Almanac tells the story of this classic year. These loyal supporters explain why they became Bulldogs; they give a game by game account of the home and away matches and of the four remarkable finals wins; they tell the tale growing up with the Dogs, and of following their ill-fated boys until now. This is a beautiful, uplifting outpouring of emotion. It is full of hope, belief, the sense of family, and of place. It's ideal for any Bulldogs fan and anyone who loves reading about footy and its people.' (Publication Summary)
