Leaving her office job at Sotheby's, Kate MacDougall started a dog-walking business in 2006, shocking colleagues and contradicting her mother's expectations. In this heartfelt memoir, she details the life of Stanley, a stubborn mutt who refused to walk past the front yard; Winston, a lab with a compulsively clean owner; Dolly, a silky terrier owned by a withdrawn celebrity; and many other unique canines. Charming accounts of her own life— and her own woefully overweight dog—are delightfully woven in as well. This is a witty, intimate book that will make you laugh and cry in equal amounts, and fill you with love for dogs you've never met.
