Reviews

[Iris Whitaker]

An equally adorable and interesting book about the Transglobe expedition's furriest explorer. Truly delightful, with the unmistakable wit of two true terrier owners, this is a book that never disappoints. Through retellings of Bothie's trouble-making tactics and the personal writings of Ginnie, this book makes for a unique and often unseen aspect of explorations.

[Anthony]

Such a good story about a Jack Russell mutt, Bothie, who stood on both poles this planet, told in very British understatements and with wry humor. A very different sort of adventure tale that focuses on the dog’s exploits as much as it does on the incredible feat that took Bothie on such a journey.

A great book!
