A Dog Abroad by Bruce Fogle (Large Print)

A LARGE PRINT EDITION

With Macy, an endearing golden retriever, as his travelling companion, popular vet and writer Bruce Fogle journeys into the very heart of Europe in search of his ancestors.

Travelling with man's best friend allows Bruce to savour the landscape in a way he couldn't alone. Macy introduces him to an eclectic mix of rural folk and local animals as well as other travellers. Together Macy and Bruce walk for miles through peaceful woods and empty shores, taking time off from the frenetic bustle of urban life to appreciate the unspoilt beauty of landscapes still frozen in the aspic of time.

In their compact motor-home they travel through the Netherlands, northern Germany and Scandinavia, the Baltics, and finally down the eastern rim of Poland to Slovakia and Slovenia. With Macy stoically at his side, Fogle uncovers revelations about his ancestry as well as discovering the real central Europe.
