520    "The irresistibly charming memoir of a young woman who 
       started her own business as a dog walker for Londons busy,
       well-heeled dog lovers. A true love letter to London, dogs,
       and growing up. Aside from the odd biter or growler, the 
       occasional bolter and the one dog who didnt want to walk, 
       the canines were the easy part. They were a muddy, messy 
       joy in all shapes, sizes and breeds, from greedy Labradors
       to pampered pugs and everything in between. It was the 
       owners who were the real challenge, a giddy mix of the 
       over-protective, the clueless, the eccentrics and the 
       perfectionists. There is no rule book on how to navigate 
       the obsessions of the London dog owner. A degree in human 
       psychology would have been far preferable to any sort of 
       animal qualification. Not that I had either … In 2006, 
       Kate MacDougall was working a safe but dull job at the 
       venerable auction house Sothebys in London. After a clumsy
       accident nearly destroyed a precious piece of art, she 
       quit Sothebys and set up her own dog-walking company. Kate
       knew little about dogs and nothing about business, and no 
       one thought being a professional dog walker was a good use
       of her university degree. Nevertheless, Kate embarked upon
       an entirely new and very much improvised career walking 
       some of the citys many pampered pooches, branding her 
       company 'London's Number One Dog Walking Agency.' With 
       sharp wit, delightful observations, and plenty of canine 
       affection, Kate reveals her unique and unconventional 
       coming-of-age story, as told through the dogs, and the 
       London homes and neighborhoods they inhabit. One walk at a
       time, she journeys from a haphazard twentysomething to a 
       happily— and surprisingly— settled adult, with love, 
       relationships, drama, and home ownership along the way. 
       But, as Kate says, 'Its all down to the dogs' and what 
       they taught her about London— and life." --|cProvided by
