Life As Seen By Monty The Border Collie, Paws For Thought By Elaine Jacques, Is A Must-Read For Every Dog Lover

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, for all fans of our canine four-legged friends, Paws For Thought – Life Through A Dog’s Eyes by Elaine Jacques shares what a dog’s life is really all about with Border Collie, Monty.

Paws For Thought – Life Through A Dog’s Eyes

Paws For Thought – Life Through A Dog’s Eyes by Elaine Jacques will be dipped into time and time again by any reader with a passion for dogs, their loyalty, energy and joie d’vivre.

Paws for thought is an exploration of life seen through the eyes of (wo)man’s best friend, her beloved border collie, Monty, who takes on the role of both narrator and protagonist. Through a collection of short stories, this charming anthology chronicles Monty’s journey from canine adolescence to adulthood, his adventures, new friendships formed and a whole host of unforgettable experiences that kept his tail wagging.

Starting life as the runt of the litter, and described by Elaine as a ‘little odd, piglet looking puppy’ the happiness that Monty brings to his besotted owner jumps from each and every page. Readers experience emotions ranging from humour, loss and love as well as the boundless energy of a soul thoroughly content with his lot in life. Paws For Thought confirms why dogs really are man’s best friend.

Elaine Jacques

Elaine Jacques was born in Winchester, Hampshire, but spent most of her younger years in Spain before returning to Winchester, aged 18, where she went to college to study English and then to university.

I wasn’t the brightest as a child and struggled with reading and writing. My English teacher took the time to give me some one-to-one tuition after class and had me read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29: When, in Disgrace with Fortune and Men’s Eyes.

We would read each line, think about the meaning and discuss it before moving to the next line. I loved that poem and is what gave me the confidence and passion for reading and writing.

But, following the encouraging reception of my debut book, I am currently contemplating a sequel to Paws for Thought.

I have travelled and lived all over the UK and have been lucky enough to travel quite a lot of the world, as well as volunteer in animal conservation projects in the African bush.

I am a passionate animal lover who is mesmerised and intrigued by what goes on in their world and minds. My love for animals – both large or small – and my great affection for Monty, my faithful companion has enabled me to write a lovely joyful book about a very special soul for which I am most grateful.
