Jan fennell is the only person I can think of that I've read about who has made her way in the world without the help of a rich man behind her. The book is mainly about her life leading up to the dog listening stage but the dog stories don't come into it until the last thirs of the book. But don't let that put you off. It's a real inspiration.
Lovely lovely bookOctober 8, 2004 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an insight into the dog loving authors life, and very interesting reading it makes too. A must for people that are interested in other doggy people and how they got where they are today.

Having previously read The Dog Listener & The Practical Dog Listener, I was intrigued to see how it all began. As the reader, you are taken on a journey seeing how she progressed from lonely little girl, whos only friends are her canine ones (real or imaginary) through to her magnificant work as the dog listener. It's inspiring to see how the dogs in her life directed her paths and made her who she is. It is a well written book, you can really relate to Jan and feel great sympathy for her trials and tribulations, as well as her success's and triumphs. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a Jan Fennell fan and wants to enjoy all it has to offer!
