The hilarious story of Britain's best-known dog lover Martin Clunes, two uncontrollable Jack Russell puppies, and a whirlwind of canine chaos . . . A TALE OF TWO PUPPIESWhen Martin Clunes welcomed two adorable Jack Russell puppies, John and Murray, into his Dorset home to share with all the family's other animals, he imagined idyllic walks and loyal companionship. Instead, the two brothers unleashed a whirlwind of chaos. Only then did Martin and his wife, Philippa, learn about littermate syndrome. And that shredded furniture was going to be the least of their problems. It seemed everything they'd been doing was wrong. These puppies were out of control and possibly even lethal . . . Driven to their wits' end, the couple embarked on a desperate search for help. But one thing soon became abundantly clear: restoring order wasn't going to be easy . . . Heartwarming and hilarious, this canine catastrophe with a happy ending will bring a smile to the face of dog lovers everywhere. Readers paws-itively rave about Martin Clunes!
