A British journalist muses on his life and canine-related topics while walking his dog, in this book inspired by his popular newspaper column.

If you are accompanied by a dog, you can talk to anyone, and anyone can talk to you--about anything.

After being dismissed from his job as a radio presenter, Edward Stourton had plenty of time to walk his English Springer Spaniel, Kudu, in London's Battersea Park. Stourton found himself contemplating a variety of dog-associated questions like How well does he really know Kudu?; Can our dogs know us?; Do they understand what ownership is?; How loyal are they really?; and Do they know guilt? Then he began examining more complex subjects--art, sexual politics, war, government, philosophy, and life in general--from the amusing perspective of a man walking his dog.

In Diary of a Dog Walker, Stourton shares excerpts from his columns, full of insights gained from his adventures with Kudu, as well as anecdotes from his personal life. It adds up to a wise and witty read perfect for dog-lovers everywhere.

Praise for Diary of a Dog Walker

"Utter magic. Edward Stourton is civilized, charming, and writes like an angel. The dogs all spring to life but this is a gorgeous book for everybody--not just for dog lovers. I love it." --Jilly Cooper, author of the Rutshire Chronicles

"The sort of book that might convert even a cat-lover to the charm of canine company." --The Mail on Sunday

"A thoroughly enjoyable ramble through a diverse selection of topics which range from dogs of war and dog fighting to presidential pets and choosing the right name. . . . In turn serious, funny, sad and light-hearted; it's a perfect mixture which is just right for the bedside table." --Karen Bush, author of The Dog Expert
