Synopsis
Full of anecdotal case-histories and told in her own unique voice, we see how Jan Fennell's unique gifts have won her the admiration of dog lovers worldwide. Jan Fennell's unique gift has won her an international following. Her books, The Dog Listener and The Practical Dog Listener were instant best-sellers, and she became a house-hold name through her international success. In her new book, Jan tells the story of the personal journey that led her to success -- and the crucial part her canine companions played in her development. Jan reveals her bond with dogs was forged amid the personal sadness of her childhood in London, an often traumatic period when it seemed Jan's beloved pets were her only source of unconditional love. She goes on to describe her experiences as a young mother, struggling to establish herself in an unfamiliar -- and sometimes hostile -- rural Lincolnshire community. Jan's story eventually turns into a charming country tale -- a self-sufficient idyll, inhabited by colourful characters -- both human and canine.But when life deals her a series of blows it is her dogs, once more, who provide Jan with her strength and inspiration, and an unexpected new lease of life.
About the Author

a real inpsiration, 2004-10-28
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 book, 2004-10-08
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.
An Inspirational Read!, 2003-05-19
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!
