FAVOURITE

I love to read and have amassed quite the library of books over the past few years. I have compiled a list of books below that I think are great reads for those who share my passion for the written word, especially if it is about animals! When I recommend a book to a friend, colleague or owner I always ask them to read with an open mind but equally not to be afraid to disagree with the author.

I personally don’t agree with everything that is written in every book or posted in every video or written in every research paper written by the people listed below, but that is ok, we are entitled to all have our own opinions, as like our dogs we are all unique individuals! The more information we equip ourselves with, the more informed we become and we all know…. knowledge is power.
