Product Description

Book Description
A British Marley and Me, which sold over 150,000 copies

Product Description
When Judith Summers’s husband and father both died within the space of two weeks, she found herself floundering. Life for her and her eight-year-old son Joshua seemed relentlessly bleak. Then George bounced into their lives. A loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with film-star looks, George reawoke their joie de vivre. Yet Judith soon discovered that living with George had its drawbacks. He was a full-time job and as expensive to run as a Ferrari. Wilful and badly behaved, he refused to eat anything other than roast chicken, preferred travelling by car to walking, and became as jealous as a spurned lover if any man dared show an interest in her. And when a near-death tangle with a Staffordshire Bull terrier resulted in costly sessions with an animal psychologist, Judith found that it was she who was put on the couch . . . My Life with George is the hilarious and moving story of the impossible but adorable George — recounting how he filled the huge void in Judith and Joshua’s lives, while driving them absolutely barking mad along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving and hilarious tribute to everlasting love - of men and dogs., 8 Aug 2007
By Jessica Horn "Jessie" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This book is touching, heartbreaking, and moves you to tears and then laughter. It is written from the heart, like a letter from a long-lost friend, without any pretensions to literature. it is refreshing and funny, and manages to enter the catatonic realm of cancer with jollity, humour and heartfelt anguish and rage. what is so amazing is that the spirit of the little dog called George rules - showing how love and fun triumph over tragedy. i love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog lover!!!!!, 23 Aug 2007
By Mrs. Je nash "dog lover" (London..England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Did not buy this for myself but decided to browse and I actually cried laughing. This is such an enjoyable book. It was also an eye opener to the unseen or ignored pain of friends that you may 'think' are copeing with their loss. Just loved this book and will be buying for Xmas presents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Walk in Beauty, 23 Aug 2007
This book is an absolute must in "HOW NOT TO DO IT" for anyone who is thinking of bringing a dog into their home. Having said that, Judith slips the cord over our necks and leads us along the totally predictable path of mistakes and responses, on both ends of the rope. I laughed out loud and wiped tears from my cheeks. It is a really good read.
