Her books, The Dog Listener and The Practical Dog Listener were instant best-sellers, and she became a house-hold name through her international success. In her new book, Jan tells the story of the personal journey that led her to success - and the crucial part her canine companions played in her development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJan reveals her bond with dogs was forged amid the personal sadness of her childhood in London, an often traumatic period when it seemed Jan's beloved pets were her only source of unconditional love.

Jan's story eventually turns into a charming country tale - a self-sufficient idyll, inhabited by colourful characters - both human and canine.
