More lovely reviews for The Wolf That Chews Rocks, which has so far been compared to Bill Bryson, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. I can't imagine anything more flattering. Thanks everybody! 100% 5 star reviews so far. And 25% off if you order via russelljonesauthor.com
Screenshot of a few Amazon reviews:

If you have a dog, read this book.

This book is a wonder. It's made mew think about our walks and my dog's behaviour differently. Russell's writing is sublime, entertaining, and relatable. Any dog owner has been there.
By far one of the most rewarding books I've ever read.

Makes you laugh, then think. A great read

Firstly, I laughed - out loud, enough to annoy the wife. This is a romp through the physiology and psychology of dogs. And written in a witty and relatable way, with footnotes a la Pratchett.
If you have had a dog, you will know. If you haven't, you may learn why, and what you have escaped. Thoroughly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars

Incredibly witty and funny book that any dog lover will love. At the same time it is highly informative about the evolution of the domestic pooch and its relationships with humans.
I defy anyone who has lived with a dog to not love this book.
I found it quite comforting to hear about a dog that was just as crazy as mine was (if not even more so).
Added bonus - fabulous illustrations by the author capture Baxter the dog’s facial expressions and antics perfectly.
I was lucky to get an advance copy but it’s on my Christmas list for gifts to all my doggy pals.

The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable bravery. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

Silly Trumps, they keep forgetting that the Internet is forever.
