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

The sort of book that might convert even a cat-lover to the charm of canine company

Jane Shilling, Mail on Sunday

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

Diary of a Dog-walker is a delight, combining gossipy politics and shaggy dog stories adroitly

Time Out

Delightful... [a] charming and thoughtful book
