Martin Clunes appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh show yesterday promoting his new book ‘A Dog’s Life’. Martin is a real dog lover and currently has three dogs. ‘A Dog’s Life’ is also kind of a book version of Martin’s recent TV series, ‘Martin Clunes: A man and his dogs‘, in which he talks about his dogs and the great impact they have on his life.

Alan Titchmarsh was amused that each of Martin Clunes’ dogs have two names. There is Mary Elizabeth, Tina Audrey and Arthur Colin. Martin’s cat is called Maisy Ann, and is actually a boy.

In the interview Martin explained how the TV series and book came about. On the set of Doc Martin, a production company came to do a behind the scenes feature, and there were loads of dogs around the resort, including Martin Clunes’ own dogs. The idea of doing a programme starring Martin about his dogs then emerged.

A Dog’s Life is more than just a book about how Britain are a nation of dog lovers - Martin documents how he travelled round the world to explore the history and geography of our fascination with canine pets, from Tanzania to Australia to Beverley Hills and Yellowstone Park.

It is a really fascinating read for any dog lover.
