Some very exciting things are happening now for Sociable Dog. Having had such a great time last week recording the audio book of More Than Just A Dog. The good people at HarperCollins have just sent us a video that, if it weren't already, has made this whole amazing experience super real. Check out MTJAD rolling off the presses. Too, too cool.

For the last few days I have been recording the audio book of More Than Just A Dog in Queen’s Park in London. If it hadn’t been for the wonderful work of my producer the job would not have been nearly as much fun. Emmanuelle managed to make me feel relaxed and confident. She even laughed at my jokes and indulged my need to chat with a lovely sense of fun, so thank you Emma, you are an absolute artist at what you do. And a shout out to Andrew too who stepped in when needed to steer the ship for half a day. Thank you to you too, Andrew. (Unfortunately Andrew couldn’t be in the photo).
A lovely bunch of people. Here’s to you all 👍
