National treasure, dog lover and bestselling author Clare Balding shares her love for our favourite family pet in an adventure across Britain. This is a tale of how Britain is shaped by its dogs.

Clare has always been fascinated by the impact dogs have on our lives and the way they have shaped Britain across the centuries. In Isle of Dogs, she explores the characteristics of our favourite breeds, why we are drawn to them and what they bring out in us, from how we work to how we live. Clare explores the many roles dogs fulfil and the history of how they became such an intrinsic part of our lives. From the mysteries of extinct breeds to the ancient dogs still thriving today, she journeys from Battersea to the Orkney Islands via Buckingham Palace to tell a moving and humorous tale of loyalty and partnership. Talking to people whose everyday survival depends on their dog and whose experience of life has been transformed by them.

We are famed as a nation of dog lovers, but do we truly appreciate how much our lives and history have been shaped by this connection?
