Synopsis

'Hello dear listener and welcome to Peggy & Me, the story of my life after getting a beautiful Shih-Tzu Bichon Frise cross puppy (I call the breed a Shitty Frise - fun) in the form of Peggy.

Some of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally brilliant, I need hear no more, I'm sold." In which case we should be best friends and go out to tea together, every day.

Others of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally mad, she must have officially lost it." In which case I completely understand. For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion. The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and worse, an alarming comfort and ease around excrement.

But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds. It wasn't instant love I have to admit. Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy - there was a lot of challenging, what I call, dog administration (dog-min), and the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me. It' was a bumpy old road, but Peggy was lovingly by my side through some life-changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her. Most surprisingly she taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that), but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship.

Put aside any doggy reservations and come walkies with Peggy and me...'

Goodreads review by [ J o ]

This is an autobiography-cum-love story about an actor trying to become an actor and a lovable pooch with anecdotes, stories and lessons abound. Bounding, like the dances owner and pup do when they're excited. Oh, you're not a dog person so you don't understand that. Okay. Are you a Miranda person? N......more

Multi- talented, writer and actor, Miranda Hart has now written a book about herself and her experience of becoming a dog owner. In her own inimitable style she documents the sometimes rocky but always love-filled road with Peggy. I thoroughly enjoyed watching some of the Miranda sitcom shows, and fo......more

Goodreads review by Jessica

I was really excited going into reading Peggy and Me. I LOVED Miranda’s previous book, Is It Just Me?, and so I went into this having high expectations that I was obviously going to love it, too. But I felt let down. Peggy and Me is a sweet story about how Miranda came to have Peggy, and their stori......more
