Barking Mad taps into the British passion for dogs by bringing together a unique collection of extraordinary, touching and sometimes bizarre but true stories covering sporting dogs (and hounds) military mascots, eccentric companions, war heroes and Royal dogs.

Barking Mad taps into the passion for dogs by bringing together a unique collection of extraordinary, touching, and sometimes bizarre but true stories that all reflect our enduring love for man's best friend. These stories include a Labrador that saved its master from drowning, a hound that spent years traveling unaccompanied across England by train, and a pooch that carried a penny to the local bakery every day to buy its own cakes. Perfect gift for every dog lover
