Penny: The Story of a Free-Soul Basset Hound
by Hal Borland"Some dogs, like some people, just can't abide a quiet life," writes Hal Borland, author of The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day--head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of readers came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny--and she seems to fit right in. Penny is a delightful dog--short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving--and so will readers.

People Who Like Dogs Like People Who Like Dogs: Extraordinary encounters in an ordinary park
by Nick Duerden'Anyone who has ever walked a dog and found themselves falling into conversation with others doing the same will love this funny, charming and touching book' RORY CELLAN-JONESOstensibly, Nick Duerden is a cat person, and so the acquisition of a family dog in his late-40s takes him by surprise. The border terrier, Missy, is in part a therapeutic aid - the idea being that she'll get Nick out of the house after a long period of ill health, and back into the wider, sociable world. Unexpectedly, it works. There can't be many opportunities in midlife to suddenly find yourself connecting with both hopeful young actor types and widowed octogenarians, a verbose existentialist Russian dissident and a stoned martial arts enthusiast, a bulldog with a basketball and a self-proclaimed animal mystic, but this is precisely what Missy, and the daily walk round the park, provides. (Incidentally, she saves marriages, too.)People Who Like Dogs Like People Who Like Dogs is a book about connection and friendship, love and loss, the vagaries of midlife and the deep solace that comes from an enduring relationship. It's about finding yourself when for too long you've been lost, and how even when, for whatever reason, horizons draw in, there's still plenty of adventure left. You just have to look harder for it.And it's about how the introduction of a small dog into your life can make the world big again.
