A Dog Abroad - Bruce Fogle (2007) Book
One man and his dog journey into the heart of Europe
Ebury Press, 2007

Veterinary surgeon and best selling author, Bruce Fogle, takes the reader on a journey to parts of Europe that other Europeans fail to reach! Armed with a small motor home, an Australian speaking Sat Nav, and golden retriever, Macy, as his sole companion, Bruce travels through the Netherlands, Northern Germany, Scandanavia, the Baltics, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. While touring ‘New Europe’ he takes the opportunity to explore his ancestral roots where he has some moving encounters. Bruce’s gift of narrative keeps the reader’s senses constantly awakened with the sights, sounds and smells of urban life, the beauty of the woodlands and seashores where flora and fauna abound, and includes some unusual recipes concocted from local produce.
This is more than a travelogue. It is a taste of science, politics and history all served up with a huge dollop of humour, but in the final analysis, it is Macy’s antics, geniality and zest for life that turns this book into an delightful read for any dog lover.
