Written from the charming point of view of Pickles the dog, The Dog that Saved the World (Cup) is a wonderful combination of a fun football story and a powerful, empathetic look at child poverty in the UK.
Pickles thinks football is the best thing in the world. He, Dad and Elsie make a great team – although Pickles knows that he is really the coach and captain too. In their flat near the train tracks, they live happily together as Dad tries to hide the struggle to keep the family warm and enough food on the table.
Elsie dreams of going to Wembley to see the World Cup in person while Dad is pushed to the limits. Pickles knows it’s up to him to look after his family and make sure everything works out alright in the end.

Scope for Imagination 
I read a book with almost the same title! But the story is so different.
