"Dash - Bitch of the year" is a fabulous new book about the trials and tribulations of owning Dash, a retired greyhound. It is beautifully written by author and poet, Andrew Dilger, following his first year of greyhound ownership.
It is a heartwarming and amusing account of the many ups and downs of owing a hound. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read with many parts of the book that all hound owners will be able to relate to!
Andrew had always wanted a dog – something you could mould into the perfect playmate. Tail going like a windscreen wiper, tongue a pink strip, wet-nosed, bright-eyed – what boy wouldn’t want such a force in his life? But a man of thirty-seven, just about to propose to his girlfriend? And an ex-racing greyhound?
Dash is a heart-warming memoir about the adoption of a champion greyhound and her transformation into ring bearer at her new owner’s wedding. ‘Dash’ is far from perfect, but that’s half the fun. The novelty of a man trying to organise a wedding is the other half.
We have been given permission to sell copies of the book with 50% of the proceeds going directly to Greyhound Gap.
The book costs £7.99 with £1.50 (£9.49 total) postage and packing.
