DOGS NEVER LIE ABOUT LOVE: WHY YOUR DOG WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE BY JEFFREY MASSON
Did you know that dogs have dreams and fears? That they do see colour, that they smell electric storms, and feel scent as an emotion?

Drawing on observations and true stories Masson makes us laugh, cry and think again about our canine companions, who, unlike humans, will never lie about love.

Karen can usually be found glued to her computer or at the stables. Having edited several national magazines she co-founded Eclipse Magazine in 2008 after realising that many of her friends were nervous about going racing due to lack of information – what to wear, how to bet etc.
She absolutely loves her job (how many people can say that?!) and is truly grateful to all supporters of and contributors to Eclipse Magazine.
If you are reading this she would like to say THANK YOU! (And please spread the word about Eclipse…!!)
