PC Immie is getting ready for the new Partners book!
Coming soon! Partners – Everyday working dogs being heroes every day by Nan Walton.Partners celebrates the diversity of the canine contribution to our species, providing the reader with heart-warming stories of loyalty, perseverance and courage. Written by people that learned to trust their lives to the senses of a dog, and highlighting true examples of working dog behaviour, it enables all dog lovers to understand the inborn senses and instincts of their dog, which man can shape to his benefit.
Instincts tie these stories together: Bart finding a child lost on a mountain, Traveler pulling his blind partner from the path of a moving car, and Truman soothing the souls of abused children. With specific explanations of physiological attributes and innate characteristics – such as olfactory prowess, survival instincts, and intelligent disobedience – plus quotes from fifty canine professionals chronicling working dog behaviors, Partners demonstrates the similarities between the behaviour of a tender Cocker Spaniel that brought an abused child back to reality, and a tough law enforcement K9 that assured his handlers safety. This is the story Partners delivers – unity. More info.

RIP Sir Patrick Moore
All of us here at Hubble and Hattie were very saddened to hear the sad news yesterday that the great Sir Patrick Moore had passed on, with Ptolemy, his one remaining cat, by his side.
It was an honour and a joy to work with Patrick on one of his last books – Miaow! Cats really are nicer than people! – his very personal account of the cats with whom he shared his life.
Patrick was an inspiration; a lovely man, and a true animal lover.
In March 2012 we recorded this YouTube interview with Patrick at his house in Selsey, West Sussex, at the end of which he expresses the hope that he will one day be reunited with his beloved cat, Jeannie, who died earlier this year.
Dear Patrick, we are comforted by the thought that you and Jeannie are together again now.

Discover Dogs 2012
This weekend saw the Kennel Club's Discover Dogs event at Earls Court in London. It's a great event where dogs and dog lovers alike can get together to showcase their talents, and to celebrate why dogs really are our best friends!
I was lucky enough to go along this year, and took the opportunity to get up-close and personal with some handsome hounds! Take a look!
You can find even more of my Discover Dog photos over at the H&H Facebook page!
