<p><b>''Anyone who has ever walked a dog and found themselves falling into conversation with others doing the same will love this funny, charming and touching book'' RORY CELLAN-JONES<br></b><br>Ostensibly, Nick Duerden is a cat person, and so the acquisition of a family dog in his late-40s takes him by surprise.

There can''t be many opportunities in midlife to suddenly find yourself connecting with both hopeful young actor types and widowed octogenarians, a verbose existentialist Russian dissident and a stoned martial arts enthusiast, a bulldog with a basketball and a self-proclaimed animal mystic, but this is precisely what Missy, and the daily walk round the park, provides.
