Jim Mellon

Investor and entrepreneur Jim Mellon talks about his first children’s book, Juno’s Ark, inspired by his rescue of a Podencos, a breed of Spanish hunting dog.

The story follows a big-hearted dog Juno. A bedraggled chicken arrives in Juno’s house one day. Juno cannot rest until all the chickens are safe. But mistreated chickens lead to mistreated cows and unhappy pigs and Juno and her friends find themselves helping to bring a whole load of animals to safety. Where will she put them all?

Mellon is a well-known investor and author of bestselling books including Wake Up!, Juvenescence and Moo’s Law. He is also passionate about animal welfare. He is donating 50% of the proceeds from Juno’s Ark to Danos Una Oportunidad (DUO), a dog shelter in Ibiza, and the other 50% to Compassion in World Farming,
