Isle of Dogs

A companionable canine history and tour of Great Britain from Clare Balding (b.1971) as she explores the ways the companionship of dogs has shaped and influenced the people of Britain. From historic breeds and how they have become bound up in our island story; to working dogs and the rich heritage of skills still practised by some in the working countryside. Taking in The Kennel Club, the Goodwoof festival in West Sussex, royal dogs, rescues and modern charities which bring the wellbeing and health benefits of canine companionship to vulnerable people. Full of light-hearted and moving stories, and plenty of compelling canine characters, this celebration of dogs will delight and inspire anyone who has experienced the love and loyalty of a four-legged friend.
