Anyone who has ever walked a dog and found themselves falling into conversation with others doing the same will love this funny, charming and touching book

– Rory Cellan-JonesA delightful tale of dogs, their owners, and the communities they make together – Katherine MayA wise and touching book about the small relationships that can nevertheless change lives – Lissa EvansHonest, insightful and brave, full of compassion and humour – Michael MorpurgoAnyone who has a dog will know just how much they can expand your world, but it came as a surprise to Duerden, who was a cat person until Missy the border terrier came into his life. A gloriously warm ode to our four-legged friends and the power of human connection. * i News, BEST OF 2024 *This is a beautifully written book … There’s something of the Alan Bennett about Duerden as he chronicles slices of everyday life. * Mail on Sunday *Full of beguiling observations … a tale about human connection and our evolving need for it. Touching and funny. * Observer *
