Along Came Dylan: Two's a Crowd When You've Been Top Dog

Ollie was just about cured of his basketcase habits; the neurotic lurcher at last appeared to have his paws planted firmly on the ground (well, almost). But did Stephen Foster take a well-earned rest? Not. He decided one thing was missing from Ollie's life, someone who could really understand him, a friend with whom he could have dog-to-dog chats. If you must get another dog get a girl, the experts told Foster. So he got a boy, a pure-bred Saluki lunatic called Dylan. As soon as the new puppy peered through the door, Ollie threw his master a look of contemptuous disbelief that said, 'I refuse to have anything whatsoever to do with this. You're on your own, pal.' The riotously funny Along came Dylan takes up where Foster's bestselling Walking Ollie left off, but instead of one canine conundrum, he's got two: Dylan, the outlaw, proves to be virtually untrainable; Ollie, feeling threatened, becomes increasingly antisocial, and Foster is caught in the middle wondering why man's best friends can't just be friends.

Stephen Foster is the author of six books including the bestselling Walking Ollie which has sold over 100,000 copies. He lives in Norwich, England, with his partner and their two dogs, Ollie and Dylan.

Having cured (well, just about .) his rescue dog Ollie of his neuroses and crackpot habits, Stephen Foster might have been expected to take a break. In Foster's view though, there was still something missing from his dog's world: Ollie needed a playmate, someone to talk to, someone to understand him. 'If you must get another one, at least get a girl,' everybody said. But Dylan is a boy, a pure Saluki boy. And he's a lunatic. The moment the new pup walked in the door, Ollie threw his master a look of contemptuous disbelief. It was a look that said, 'I refuse to have anything whatsoever to do with this. You're on your own, pal.' In the riotously funny Along Came Dylan, Stephen Foster picks up where Walking Ollie left off. Instead of one difficult dog, he's got two. Where Ollie sees a threat, Dylan sees a challenge - and Foster finds himself forever somewhere in the middle, trying to work out why they can't just all be friends .
