It’s a Dog’s Life – Tails from Pepis Refuge
20 years ago Jane and Alan Brian moved to Spain to open a caravan park. Instead they found a hung galgo in the olive groves around them and started their journey to save and rehome hundreds of dogs. Alan write amusing and poignant verse and I have now collected these into a book, interspersed with stories of some Pepis dogs who found forever homes. Please buy a copy, all proceeds from the sale will go to the Pepis dogs, including podencos. It’s Print on Demand, so will only be printed when you pay for it, allow 2 weeks. An ideal present for your dog-loving friends.

From Pyramid to Perrera – The Story of the Podenco. Get a taster here.
Thanks to Beverley Farmer of Podenco Friends for the beautiful portrait of Jazz adorning the front cover.
Available now only as an ebook, click on this link.
Unfortunately all print copies in English and French are sold out. Because of the nature of some of the pictures, I was unable to get sponsorship to pay for the printing, so I paid for it myself. As all sale proceeds are donated to appeals for help with vet fees etc to podenco rescues, the capital was not replaced and I therefore cannot afford to pay for another print run.
If anyone can obtain sponsorship for me for this important book on the Podenco, please email me.

MY DOGS LIVE HERE
Posted on my facebook page, No author’s name.
My dogs live here; they’re here to stay.
You don’t like pets, be on your way.
They share my home, my food, my space.
This is their home, this is their place.You will find dog hair on the floor,
They will alert you’re at the door.
They may request a little pat,
A simple “no” will settle that. -
