In 2006, Kate MacDougall was working a safe but dull job at the venerable auction house Sotheby’s in London. After a clumsy accident nearly destroyed a precious piece of art, she quit Sotheby’s and set up her own dog-walking company. Kate knew little about dogs and nothing about business, and no one thought being a professional dog walker was a good use of her university degree. Nevertheless, Kate embarked upon an entirely new and very much improvised career walking some of the city’s many pampered pooches, branding her company "London's Number One Dog Walking Agency".

A must read for all dog lovers!
Revisado: 08-22-22
A young twenty something has graduated university. She is excited to enter the working world with her newly minted art history degree but becomes quickly disillusioned by days of drudgery cataloging pieces waiting to be auctioned. That is when she takes stock of her life and heads into an entirely different career path altogether... dog walking.
We follow Kate along on her new adventure and find great joy in getting to know not only the wonderful dogs she walks but also the quirky and sometimes exasperating humans who employ her. Funny. Insightful. Even philosophical. I loved this book and think that you will too!

Laurie Zaleski never aspired to run an animal rescue; that was her mother Annie’s dream. But from girlhood, Laurie was determined to make the dream come true. Thirty years later as a successful businesswoman, she did it, buying a 15-acre farm deep in the Pinelands of South Jersey. She was planning to relocate Annie and her caravan of ragtag rescues - horses and goats, dogs and cats, chickens and pigs - when Annie died, just two weeks before moving day. In her heartbreak, Laurie resolved to make her mother’s dream her own.

If you are an animal lover you simply must read this book! So many heart touching stories of

Atticus Finch said to put on someone else's shoes and walk around in them for awhile. That is exactly what this book allows you to do. Mallory Smith does such a superb job of describing her life with cystic fibrous. The reader comes away with a fresh compassion for those who suffer with this debilitating, life stealing disease.
