Dogs in the News - Softcover

In this delightful collection, news anchorman Martyn Lewis features many weird and wonderful tales, photos and cartoons about man’s best friend. Here you will find an amazing variety of hooligan hounds, pampered pooches, dogs at the wheel, dogs on wheels, big softies and tiny terrors. Carefully chosen from a century of news archives the world over, Dogs In The News is a light-hearted and entertaining celebration of dogs of every sort – the loveable and the ludicrous, the timid and the terrible, the heroic and the ridiculous, the bizarre and the barking mad. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the companionship of a dog will recognise in these stories many of the characteristics that make their dogs so special. Experts who spent the best part of a year analysing the effects of pet ownership on human health found that new dog owners did five times more walking than before, and reported a marked reduction in minor ailments such as headaches, backaches, colds and flu. They also discovered that dog owners enjoy a substantial improvement in mental health – and even a few minutes spent each day with a dog can greatly ease stress and tension. These loveable canine tales might just help you do that as well!
