Summary
There is one animal that is familiar to all of us, whoever we are, wherever we live.
Even if we've never had direct contact with one, we will have seen one, or at the very least, heard one. For those of us who live in the Western world, it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I'm talking, of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside 500 million of us all over the world - as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant - presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship - the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal - start in the first place?
Kate Humble is a life-long animal lover. Now living on an idyllic farm in Wales, she has achieved her dream of surrounding herself with as many varieties as possible. But, as with many Brits, the dog has always held a special place in her heart. Here, she uses her journey with her sheepdog puppy Teg to frame her examination of this very special relationship. Told with warmth and love, and packed full of stories about rescue dogs, guide dogs, service dogs and medical dogs, this is a must for anyone with a four-legged friend.

I learnt so much about our relationship with dogs
I loved learning so many different things about dogs and their incredible abilities. A wonderful book which I've already bought for friends. I'll be reading again.

Just a lovely book
It's just nice, occasionally emotional but a love story to mankind's best friends, even though we may not always appreciate it.

Great book for dog lovers
Some beautiful moments as we learn how Teg bonds with her owner. Sometimes a bit disjointed but if you like statistics some of these are of great interest. Overall a heart warming real story as well as being inspirational.
