Meet the Characters
Aidie is curious, brave and full of heart. Her name comes from the word Aid — because every Dog Hero starts with helping. Based on Sue's beautiful niece Asel, who at just three years old already shows the same kindness and courage that makes Aidie the Dog Hero she is.
Remi is energetic, funny and lightning fast — always ready for action. His name comes from the word Remedy — because sometimes the best remedy is knowing what to do. Based on Sue's wonderful nephew Can Deniz, who at four years old has the same unstoppable energy and cheeky spark that brings Remi to life on every page.
Patch is dramatic, funny and completely loveable — just like the real dog who inspired him. Pug was our beloved family pug, there for every milestone and every moment. He also played a very special role — helping a certain clumsy Dobermann puppy find his feet and his heart.
Kai is the wise, warm vet who guides our Dog Heroes. Kaiser was our magnificent Dobermann — daft and hilarious as a puppy, shaped into a gentle giant by his best friend Pug. In his elder years, the wisest, most gentle soul. Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Our Story
It started with two dogs.
Pug arrived in 2007. A black pug with a personality ten times his size — dramatic, affectionate and completely convinced he was the centre of the universe. He was our first dog. The dog that started everything.
Kaiser arrived a few years later. A Dobermann puppy — clumsy, daft and utterly chaotic. Pug took him under his paw and shaped him into something extraordinary. Calm. Steady. Wise. The kind of dog who made everyone around him feel safe.
They were inseparable. Different in every way, but completely devoted to one another.
We lost Pug in 2019 after 12 incredible years. We lost Kaiser in 2024 to soft tissue sarcoma — at just 11 years old, far too soon. Losing them both left a space that words struggle to fill.
But they didn't just leave a gap. They left a purpose.
Their love lives on in every chapter, every adventure, every page.
Where we are now
Raw Revolution Derby and Raw Revolution Burton on Trent (formerly Natural Dogs Direct) are the founding homes of this book — the communities where the idea was born and the people who believed in it first.
This is just the beginning.
If you would like to be part of the Dog Hero journey — as a stockist, a school, a parent or a Dog Hero in training — we would love to hear from you.
