about all aspects of living with dogs, and the dog's life, from more than 50 writers.

From the wit of Alan Bennett, deploying the dog's comedic potential to add black humour to a dark work, to Virginia Woolf's exquisite imagining, in Flush, of what it might mean to be a dog; from J.M. Coetzee's unflinching account of strays' lives to the moor-haunting mystery of Conan Doyle's legendary hound, there is something here to absorb and amuse anyone who has ever loved or longed for a dog.
