Barking Mad Summary

Barking Mad: Two Centuries of Great Dog Stories by Tom Quinn

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

Barking Mad Reviews

This anthology of canine stories will amuse, sadden, entertain and cause wonderment. This book can be picked up and put down at leisure without requiring any great concentration. You do not need to be barking mad to get a copy of this book, just be someone with an appreciation for the wonderment of dogs.
I can't think of a better Christmas present for a dog-loving bookworm. This is one of those handy books that the reader can dip into, assured of an enjoyable read. The trouble is, these intriguing tales always tempt the reader into 'just one more...'. Above all, if you love dogs, this book will make you smile. * Shooting & Conservation Magazine *
Barking Mad's short stories are perfect for a great summer read because you're able to feel the satisfaction of finishing a few stories at a time, but avoid getting too tucked in so that you end up missing those all important dog walks. Especially if you love tales about dogs rescuing their owners from flood and fire, buying their own lunch or singing for their supper. Tom Quinn s collection of great dog inspiring stories are sure to stay with you after they long end.
