Hello dear book browser and welcome to Peggy & Me, the story of my life after getting a beautiful Shih-Tzu Bichon Frise cross puppy (I call the breed a Shitty Frise - fun) in the form of Peggy.

Some of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally brilliant, I need hear no more, I'm sold." In which case we should be best friends and go out to tea together, every day.

Others of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally mad, she must have officially lost it." In which case I completely understand. For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion. The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and worse, an alarming comfort and ease around excrement.

But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds. It wasn't instant love I have to admit. Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy - there was a lot of challenging, what I call, dog administration (dog-min), and the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me. It' was a bumpy old road, but Peggy was lovingly by my side through some life-changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her. Most surprisingly she taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that), but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship.

Put aside any doggy reservations and come walkies with Peggy and me...

Genuine talent

I absolutely loved everything about this story. Thank you Miranda. I am a 67 year old American woman who has basically always had a dog in my life and this book touched my heart in all the right places.

Miranda, well done!

I loved everything about the book. Well written, well read, Hart warming story. I hope there are more books to come.

Love Miranda!

I am a true Miranda Hart fan; so I may have a biased perspective on the book. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with an "old friend" as I listened to the story being read by Miranda.

Beautiful touching hilarious lovely

I loved everything about this audiobook. She is such a gifted writer and performer. And now that the book allowed us a glimpse into her beautiful Hart heart, I believe she’s my favorite comedy writer biographer and all around special human being. Plus, anyone who has been in love with their dog will get this book 100%.

heart warming

loved it. it is a great, funny, heart warming story than truly touched me. Great job Miranda. Thank you for sharing your trutb.. tears and laughs...

Heartwarming and such fun

Discovered Miranda Hart as Chummy in Call the Midwife and became interested in her as a comedian. She narrates this audiobook both as herself and as Peggy, her diva of a dog. There are some laugh-out-loud moments as well as genuine bits of wisdom.

A really sweet story of a woman and her dog

I loved it! Slightly less comedic than previous book but very touching and enjoyable.

Such Fun

This Is classic Miranda only it deals from the perspective of her dog Peggy.
Every now and then Peggy gives a bark, I can see Miranda turning from her seat and making that happen. This is a lovely story about Miranda and Peggy that takes one away from everyday thoughts. I listen to it every night and find myself chuckling out loud.

An Adorable Exploration of Life With a Pet

What I Liked: Miranda remains as clever as ever in her writing and this book remains to be a great little sharing of her life. The story of how the original manuscript for this book had been lost when her apartment was burgled was a little heartbreaking and I can't imagine trying to recover from that loss. But the resulting book is a testament to her commitment to telling this story of her and Peggy.

It's hard to say how this book might be received by non-dog lovers as Peggy does quickly become the focus of the narrative. This is a good and a bad thing of course depending on how you look at it, but I do feel like Miranda's efforts to convey her love for Peggy is certainly infectious enough to get anyone to consider owning a dog or at the very least feeling the need to play with one after finishing this title.

What Could Have Been Better: Somewhat similar to the last book, if you expect this biography to focus more on her life as a comedian and entertainer then you'll be significantly disappointed. This doesn't make the book bad, but having the right expectations is rather important and getting the wrong idea about what this is can sour your impression of the book.

At the same time, Miranda speaking as Peggy in this audio book can be something that is terribly endearing or oddly annoying. I enjoyed it, but I can totally get how it may not be everyone's cup of tea. If you weren't too impressed with Miranda speaking as a younger version of herself in the last book then I doubt her Peggy personification will do that much better.

Heart full of love

I've been yearning for a dog for many years. Not being able to own one for various reasons has left a nagging hole. I don't know where it came from all of a sudden a few years back. Listening to Miranda has only widened that hole into a full on ache of loneliness. This book was funny, heart wrenching and lovely. Thank you for giving a reason for this ache Miranda. I'm a crazy dog lady and I own a cat.
