Dog walks Man, A six-legged odyssey.
By John Zeaman.
Hamlyn.
I was given this book solely to review it and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The tales of a man, who is duped into getting a dog by his children and who like Fathers world over, ends up the one walking it everyday.
At first I was a little taken aback by the story content. What on earth would an author have to delicate a 304 page book about dog walking with? But every chapter is filled with beautiful in depth details and descriptions of the area which they walked, the actions of his dog Pete (a standard poodle). The actions of people around him and the consequences of these actions and the characters he meets along the way.
The book is very easy to read due to its short story type format, each chapter is a new adventure and this allows you to put the book down and pick up again quite easily.
I found the book very funny in places some are even laugh out loud moments, which caused some embarrassment on a train one day. But it also brought me to tears in places as well.
Its beautifully written, moving, witty and a joy to read.
Once you have read it, dog walking will never be the same again
