Introduction
I’ve had dogs all my life. My parents had four generations of poodles in the 1950s and 1960s. When the 1970s arrived, they moved on to Afghan hounds—Casanis and Ottoline, a mother and daughter who were beautiful, wayward, and not too bright. Following them came Battersea, an apparently charming mongrel who regularly bit my mother when nobody was looking. They finally reverted back to poodles with Bognor, a beautiful, silly, apricot standard. Inexplicably, they then moved on to cats.
I took over the family dog ownership with Fanny, a rescue with big hair, like a backup member of Duran Duran. She had a huge personality and firm views. Then came Dorothy, a Dalmatian, who was sweet natured and loved everyone. At the same time, we accidentally acquired Jack Swan, the most beautiful golden greyhound that we found wandering the streets of Bath in the southwest of England. I said I’d look after him for the weekend—we had him for one short year before he died in his sleep. Following Jack Swan came two whippets: devoted Lily, who is always by my side, and Peggy, slightly less devoted and always in a patch of sun.
For almost as long as I have had dogs, I have drawn and painted them, and mine are featured multiple times in this book. Several years ago, I began a simple Facebook project called A Dog a Day,
where I posted my dog art
