Diary of a Dog-Walker, By Edward Stourton

Stourton began seeing life from a dog's eye view when he lost his job as a flagship radio presenter.

Just when all that was left to do was walk the dog, he was offered a column in The Telegraph which revolved around his Spaniel, Kudu.

Extracts from columns feature alongside Stourton's reflections and public responses.

Stourton combines recollections of a reporting career with Kudi's story and raises the bar on the humdrum business of doggy matters with passages on the sexual politics of the park – and even Heidegger.
