In 2006, Kate MacDougall was working at the venerable auction house Sotheby's in London. After a clumsy accident nearly destroyed a precious piece of art, she quit Sotheby's and embarked upon a new and very much improvised career walking some of the city's 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 unconventional coming-of-age story, as told through the dogs. One walk at a time, she journeys from a haphazard twentysomething to a happily settled adult.
