Phileas Dogg’s Guide to Dog Friendly Holidays in Britain

The book builds on the success of the website , which has been running for 18 months and has a mailing list and social media following in the thousands. The site’s main canine correspondent is Attlee, aka Phileas Dogg, a three year old Battersea mongrel, owned by freelance journalist Jane Common. As well as Attlee, the site is written by a team of Rover Reporters from as far afield as the Shetland Isles and Cornwall.

In the short time it’s been running, the site has been picked up by The Evening Standard and The Guardian – "even if you don’t have a dog we urge you to read this"; Waitrose Weekend , Prima , Real People and Dogs Today magazines as well as generating local paper stories around the country, in places where Phileas has visited. Jane has been invited on to BBC Radio as an expert in dog travel and worked with Visit England, the Kennel Club and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home to promote dog-friendly holidays and days out.
