Diary of a Dog-walker

Utter magic. Edward Stourton is civilized, charming, and writes like an angel. The dogs all spring to life but this is a gorgeous book for everybody - not just for dog lovers. I love it – Jilly Cooper
The sort of book that might convert even a cat-lover to the charm of canine company – Jane Shilling * Mail on Sunday *
Delightful… [a] charming and thoughtful book * The Oldie *
Diary of a Dog-walker is a delight, combining gossipy politics and shaggy dog stories adroitly * Time Out *
After a career setback at BBC radio, Edward Stourton took stock of his life with these imaginative meanders with Kudu his English springer spaniel, who seemed to have an angst-free life. This is the world conceived on a canine level, interpreted with intelligent humour and human interest by his affectionate owner – Iain Finlayson * Saga Magazine *
A thoroughly enjoyable ramble through a diverse selection of topics which range from dogs of war and dog fighting to presidential pets and choosing the right name… In turn serious, funny, sad and light-hearted; it’s a perfect mixture which is just right for the bedside table – Karen Bush * Your Dog *
Stourton is a genuinely warm and engaging writer who clearly loves his canine companion, despite his (relatively few) faults, and this little book is a tasty treat for dog owners and dog lovers * Bookgeeks.co.uk *
