One little pug. One giant dream. One match that changes everything.
Meet Phil...
He's small.
He's wobbly.
He's definitely not the biggest player on the pitch.
But when his favourite rugby team needs their loudest little supporter, Phil discovers that courage isn't about being the strongest... it's about showing up, even when your tummy is full of butterflies.
Filled with laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming friendships and plenty of pug-powered determination, Phil and Pug Phlip: The Match That Mattered is a heartwarming story about believing in yourself, cheering each other on, and discovering that every hero starts somewhere.
