Simon Garfield ~ Dog’s Best Friend

Simon Garfield’s latest book ranges from the first glimpses of our early bond on ancient rock art to the corgis at the palace and the true story of the labradoodle. Dog’s Best Friend is the story of a relationship built over 15,000 years that tells us much about dogs and even more about their owners.

Simon will be interviewed by George Cochrane

‘This is a book that will make your tail wag’ KATE HUMBLE

‘A fascinating, informative and highly entertaining expedition through the highways and byways of dogdom’ JOHN BRADSHAW, author of IN DEFENCE OF DOGS
