Im going to housesit my mums house next week whilst she is on holiday, this technically will be my holiday as well, as its better than staying in my four square walls lol.

Ive got a kindle and would like to download some dog related books/stories to read whilst Im down there with the doglets. Looking for more story related ones that training ones tbh as a bit of a change.

Ive read Marley and me and a couple about a Cavalier called George, Last dog on the Hill etc, anyone got any others that theyve really liked?

Don't know if it is your thing but I really liked Lucy Dillon's Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts and she has a second doggie related book now too called Walking Back to Happiness, which I am reading next. Nice easy reading, which is what I look for these days Smile

Endal is a good book imo! It's about the relationship between a lab and a soldier who was injured in the Iraq war.It is written from the veiw of the soldier and the obstacles he has to overcome, and it has the view of his wife and how she deals with life with a disabled husband. Can't remember the name of the soldier but it is a moving true story.

Breeders by Anita Burgh.

A brilliant book that I couldn't put down. Not your normal doggy story but a world of intrigue involving a vet, championship breeder, a puppy farmer and his daughter. Found my copy on ebay.

Wow that was quick!

Ive just downloaded the two Lucy Dillon's books Smile onto my kindle they sound like the sort you can just chill out and read.

Ive always wanted to read Endal but that isnt available on kindle but might just order it anyway lol. Breeders sounds fab, again not kindled yet but if Im ordering Endal..... Wink

Thank you Very Happy

Diary of a Dog Walker: Time spent following a lead
by Edward Stourton

In Defence of Dogs
by John Bradshaw

both available on Amazon
