Summary
‘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-JONES
Ostensibly, Nick Duerden is a cat person, and so the acquisition of a family dog in his late-40s takes him by surprise. The border terrier, Missy, is in part a therapeutic aid - the idea being that she’ll get Nick out of the house after a long period of ill health, and back into the wider, sociable world.

Critics Review
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
A delightful tale of dogs, their owners, and the communities they make together – Katherine May
A wise and touching book about the small relationships that can nevertheless change lives – Lissa Evans
Honest, insightful and brave, full of compassion and humour – Michael Morpurgo
Anyone 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 *
