In fact her diplomatic skills were to prove invaluable in her new career. Secrets of a Pet Nanny: A Journey from the White House to the Dog Houseis a fabulous and very funny collection of tales about the dogs she has looked after, from pedigree puppies to rare Tibetan terriers. Riley is a true dog devotee but that does not prevent her casting a caustic eye over her charges - and their devoted owners. Part dog memoir, part outsider's perspective on the eternal relationship between the English and their dogs, this is sure to appeal to animal-lovers of all stripes.
"The book has a sly hook: even a dedicated dog lover will wonder what propels a successful careerist to give up her globe-trotting, corridors-of-power ways for a life among other people's animals." —Publishers Weekly
