Is ‘loving everyone’ really possible, as the title of Michael J. Chase’s new book suggests? The answer may surprise you, as he chronicles his journey toward enlightenment, gaining insight along the way from a very unlikely source – a four-legged guru named Mollie, who happens to be the most lovable yet mischievous dog in the world. In Michael’s attempt to understand his best friend’s ability to unconditionally love all, he begins to see the world through her eyes, especially during their morning walks.

Mollie’s vivacious spirit, hilarious antics, and maddening behaviour ultimately lead to profound insights learned at the other end of the leash. Written with heart and humour, this one-of-a-kind story of friendship and a divine albeit outrageous dog, delivers on its promise to reveal a pathway toward enlightenment . . . and it brings us all a step closer to ‘loving everyone’.

Comedian, mod and professional grump Ian Moore has had enough. Tired of being unable to park anywhere near his cramped house in a noisy town he doesn’t like, he hatches a plan to move his wife and young son to a remote corner of the Loire Valley in search of serenity and space.

Several years later, Ian finds himself up to his neck in bilingual offspring, feral cats, promiscuous horses, dysfunctional spaniels and needy hens; he’s wrestling with electric fences, a foreign language, a mountain of animal waste and a wife who collects livestock like there’s a biblical flood on the horizon, all while trying not to dirty his loafers. But despite the ups, downs and increasing demands of Ian’s showbiz career, the Moore family persevere in true Brit style to create a unique, colourful and ultimately rewarding life in their new home – à la campagne and à la mod!

One upon a time the warm-up act for The Jonathan Ross Show, Ian Moore is a professional comedian and chutney maker extraordinaire. He is a mod in both walks of life and most of his time is spent travelling grumpily between the two.

About The DC39

Engineered to follow faithfully, DC39 is Dyson’s first cylinder vacuum with Ball™ technology for stable manoeuvring around the tightest corners.

Cylinder cleaners are often awkward to steer and can topple. They lurch into furniture, veer off at tangents and may be difficult to pull. Like an errant shopping trolley, their crude casters drift across hard floors and get buried in carpets – more force is needed to keep them on track. And reliant on bags or filters – they can lose performance too.

Sitting on a ball, DC39 has a lower centre of gravity and is easier to pull without snagging on corners or the carpet pile. Coupled with a unique central steering system, it uses an articulating chassis and central pivot point for negotiating tight turns and circumnavigating sofas. And equipped with Dyson’s Radial Root Cyclone™ technology, it captures more microscopic dust than any other cyclone.

About The Tangle Free Turbine

The perfect accessory for getting rid of frustrating pet hair from your carpet and upholstery. The Dyson Tangle-free Turbine tool is the only turbine tool that effectively removes hair from surfaces without tangling– no mess. Dyson’s tool uses two counter-rotating heads, with brushes to remove hair and dirt, sucking it straight into the bin – hygienically. The heads spin round to the very front of the tool, dislodging hair right up to the edges of stairs and corners.

So, What Do You Do Next?

Email us at editorial@k9magazine.com putting Dyson DC39 in the subject line to tell us why you should win and a bit about your dogs to be in with a chance of bagging this bagless cleaner.

On the farm, Buddy watches over Ethan’s granddaughter, curious baby Clarity, trying to keep her out of mischief. He begins to realise that this is a little girl very much in need of a dog of her own.

Buddy realizes that he has a new destiny. Reborn once more, he’s overjoyed when he is adopted by Clarity, now a vibrant but troubled teenager. When they are suddenly separated, Buddy despairs – who will take care of his girl? With her selfish mother determined to keep them apart, and an unpredictable, obsessive boyfriend, Clarity life’s threatens to spiral out of control – she needs help more than ever, but can Buddy find his way back to her in time?

A charming and heartwarming story of hope, love, and unending devotion, A Dog’s Journey asks the question: Do we really take care of our pets, or do they take care of us? This is a moving story of unwavering loyalty and a love that crosses all barriers.

With her unique understanding of the secret language of dogs and her belief that all dogs are ‘clever dogs’, Sarah uses amusing anecdote and useful case histories to discover the mysteries of dog behaviour and show us a way of communicating with the four-legged friend who shares our hearts and homes.

With fascinating case studies and expert practical advice, Clever Dog is much more than a guidebook – it is the book your dog would want you to buy.
