Review: London’s Number One Dog-Walking Agency by Kate MacDougall


This was a genuinely lovely book which was a pleasure to read! 

Kate is in her late twenties and wants more from her life of office work and chores. So on a whim, she quits her job and starts a dog-walking business, much to the disappointment of her mother. But the business takes off, and Kate tells us her story through the many dogs that she meets over the years.

I loved that this story was told through the dogs, and that the focus was always on them. We also get to meet some of the dog-walkers that Kate employs, and this adds a nice touch to the story too. 

The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though this was a lovely story, nothing really ‘happened’ in it. There was no big event or issue. Even the recession was over and done with in a few pages and the business picked up again fairly quickly.

Overall, this was a lovely story to read, and I would highly recommend.
