Review
A dour-but-delightful account... The great thing about Mr Kennard's writing is that he imparts an understanding of the issues with nary a preach nor a moan... He has a lovely way with small detail... I found this book and its predecessor perhaps the most honest and restrained first-hand accounts of modern farming that I know of... It takes an extraordinary writer to make sheepscab and mastitis interesting but this author has the rare abillity to adopt an outsider's point of view without being patronising... The warm togetherness of the family radiates off the page like heat from an Aga, and the detailed descriptions of his work with the dogs pushes this beyond straightforward memoir (Richard Benson, Daily Mail)
'This compelling portrait of a vanishing way of life will bring tears to your eyes. A must for dog lovers everywhere' (Good Book Guide)
'A passionately written book about a way of life that is more about the heart than the balance sheet... a fine read' (The Countryman)
'One farmer's hilarious tribute to the odd-looking, sock-chewing, incontinent dog who saved him from financial ruin' (Mail on Sunday)
'A fascinating and inspiring account... well worth a read' (Devon Today)
'A thundering good read' (Tiverton Gazette)
