Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Every dog must have his day.
There's nothing the British love quite as much as their dogs. From hunting to our hearths, and from herding sheep to guiding humans, our dogs have accompanied us through centuries of change, and that special relationship is still evolving today. So, just what is it that makes our bond so special?
In this fascinating adventure across Britain, Clare Balding explores our unique heritage of canine tradition and meets just some of the many people who live, work and innovate with their dogs. From the mysteries of extinct breeds to the ancient dogs still thriving today, and adventuring from Battersea Dogs Home to Shetland via Buckingham Palace, we journey through the beloved canine story of our nation.
A tale of hard work, companionship and a great many long dog walks, Isle of Dogs is an unmissable listen for anyone whose life has been transformed by a faithful hound.

Pawsome Listen
I throughly enjoyed listening to Clare read her own book Isle of Dogs. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her obvious commitment to researching topics has ensured this book is as enjoyable as it is educational.

Isle Of Dogs
Clare Balding reads this book very well. It is well researched and the stories about the various dogs and their owners are really good. I liked Alice Arnold's chapter too, she should read more books. It's clear Clare really loves dogs very much and I hope she gets another one one day.

Love, passion and knowledge of dogs.
I have absolutely loved listening to Isle of Dogs by Clare Balding. As a dog owner and lover of German Shepherds and Labradors this audible book was such a treat. It's also true that as dog owners, we are always learning about dogs and this book was a feast of information! The sensitivity of her writing shines through for all animals. Well done, for a fabulous read!

For the love of dogs
Claire has done a great job at explaining why dog lovers love canines so much. From pets to working dogs and what they bring to humans and wider society. She speaks to many people in dog related professions that we nothing or little about. Claire and her partner Alice brilliantly explain how they are approaching getting another dog and the changes they will be making to their lives to ensure their next dog has the best life.

Marvellous!
Absolutely brilliant once again.
What I will never understand is why Clare isn't the new preseter for the love of dogs?
Clare’s knowledge is outstanding and she would of been the perfect fit for this programme.
Listen to this book and you will get it,
Wonderful ❤️
