Dash is a heart-warming memoir about Andrew’s adoption of a champion greyhound bitch and her transformation into ring-bearer at his wedding. Set over a watershed twelve months, ‘Dash’ is far from perfect, but that’s half the fun. The novelty of a man trying to organise the perfect wedding is the other half.
It was two in the morning. We dragged ourselves out of bed and went downstairs again. The conservatory was devastated. Anything free-standing had been pulled over; anything wooden had been attacked. There, in the middle of the scene, the queen of chaos herself was standing on top of the table with rolling eyes and a tongue twice its normal length.
Andrew had always wanted a dog – something you could mould into the perfect playmate. Tail going like a windscreen wiper, tongue a pink strip, wet-nosed, bright-eyed – what boy wouldn’t want such a force in his life?
But a man of thirty-seven? And an ex-racing greyhound?
