WRITING

A self-help guide to greatness by the world’s highest achieving dog

COMING SOON

Jonathan has spent his career writing stories. Firstly, as a journalist, on local and national newspapers, as a reporter and sub-editor, and then in public relations, working in-house and independently. This is his first book.

Inspiration for Making very difficult things easy to do came from Bobs, who normally can be found sitting under the office desk, although occasionally he bashes out thought-provoking copy on the keyboard, in his own dogmatic way.

The book features illustrations by Royston Robertson of Bobs and his cast of canine companions. Let us introduce Vegan Sydney, pictured right, Puppy Class Pablo, The Day-Glo Pugs and many more…
