I normally wouldn't read what at first glance appears to be the biography of a dog, but I got Endal as a present for someone, read a few pages, and was hooked!

It's an incredibly moving story of a family coming to terms with a man's severe injuries, including the loss of most of his memory. And it's tragic to read that of all the service-men injured in the Gulf War, only 5 marriages have survived. But having read this book I can really understand why. And it's a sure bet that Allen and Sandra's marriage wouldn't have survived without the appearance of super-dog Endal.

And boy, what that dog is capable of! It puts my own lazy pooch to shame: operating cashpoint machines; paying bus drivers and bringing back the ticket; unloading washing machines; or putting Allen into the recovery position! Extraordinary.

I wonder if they'll let me do a trade-in at Battersea Dogs Home for my old mutt..? Oh no, he's giving me that hurt look again. I'm sure he knows what I'm thinking...
