Man & Dog

"Nobody will ever love you like a dog. Nobody will ever be as consistently happy to see you. Nobody will ever make you so glad to be alive."

It all started when Tony's daughter Yasmin wanted a rabbit, but things didn't quite go to plan. Instead came Stan, a bandy-legged bundle of joy, loyalty, and bright red fur. Set against the backdrop of Tony's life in Hampstead and their daily walks across the Heath, with its rolling hills, ponds, and cast of star-studded, dog-walking neighbours - this is a poignant, funny, and deeply human memoir about special a relationship with a four-legged friend.

Full of Tony's reliably moving, wise and heartfelt writing, Man & Dog - A Love Story captures the ineffable bond between a man and his dog.
