If you love dogs - this is the book for you.
Kate's story begins back in 2006 when she left her job at Sotheby's and began to walk dogs for a living. One of the things I liked was the fact that it ends in 2014 (with an Afterword to bring it right up to date) so you get to read about not just one year in the life of the Dog Walking Agency.
Each chapter is headed with the name of the dog and breed and some are revisited which was lovely to see where they had progressed to. One dog stood out for me and that was Stanley. He forms a very special relationship with one of the dog walkers that Kate had to employ as she became more successful. I had a little tear in my eye at one point reading about Stanley and his walker Tom.
It's true that the book is about the dogs and the walking of them, but it is so much more than that. It almost has the feel of reading a novel about it as you find out not just about the dogs, but their owners and their little foibles too. A few life lessons are also thrown in throughout the chapters along with some laughs, especially at the antics of the dogs and some rookie dog walking mistakes.
