For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion.  The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and worse, an alarming comfort and ease around excrement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut I now get why people become so mad about their hounds.  It wasn't instant love I have to admit.  Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy - there was a lot of challenging, what I call, dog administration (dog-min), and the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me.  It's been a bumpy old road, but Peggy has been lovingly by my side through some life changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her.  Most surprisingly she has taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that), but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut aside any doggy reservations and come walkies with Peggy and me ...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hart, Miranda","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42516014661817,"sku":"9781444769128","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/hart-miranda-peggy-me-hb-z44-9781444769128-33447627161785.jpg?v=1661207038","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/peggy-me-hb-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
