Everybody Died, So I Got a Dog: 'Will make you laugh, cry and stroke your dog (or any dog)' ―Sarah Millican

Product Information

I have been listening to Emily Deans podcast Walking the Dog for some time, so I was aware of some bits about family and upbringing, and I was excited to hear about this memoir and rushed to reserve it old school style, from the local library . I enjoyed the stories which are mainly centered around her growing up with eccentric parents, her older sister Rachel and a slightly potty sounding grandmother. Emily and her sister always wanted a dog but never had one, and had a fascination with dog families, those ones you see on adverts all happy and smiling and sitting down for dinner together each night. When Emily was 13, she came home from school to find a letter on the doormat from her father. He was on a plane to New Zealand, allegedly for the sake of his career. ‘I am sorry not to have told you in person’, he wrote, and hoped that one day she would forgive him. Growing up with the Deans was a fabulous training ground for many ignoring unpaid bills, being the most entertaining guest at dinner, deconstructing poetry. It was never home for the dog Emily craved. A particularly dark period followed after her dad’s death, and Emily struggled to cope with her grief. She regularly saw her counsellor, Sue, and describes these sessions as “becoming a cocoon of comfort… like getting into a warm bath, where I could turn off the outside world and shed my skin”.

Her Dad was a famous TV personality and her mother an actress. Her relationship with both of them throughout the years was turbulent at times. “It was a peripatetic, slightly unstable childhood. Lot’s of bohemian artists, who were great fun to be around, but if you wan’t fish fingers on the table at 5pm, they’re not your people.” In contrast to this, Emily’s relationship with her sister Rachael meant more than anything in the world to her “I called my sister my lighthouse, she was home.” Diddy responds to rumours he wanted to fight Will Smith over threesome proposition with Jada Pinkett Smith and his ex Jennifer Lopez It was tough and I felt very lonely,” she continues. “I also felt with my sister, that she was my witness, and my witness had died. There are things about my childhood that no one else would understand.”

Stormzy 'snubs' Maya Jama's famous annual Halloween bash as she parties until 4am - after the couple's blazing public row Emily Dean is a radio presenter, podcaster and journalist. She is Frank Skinner’s co-host on the award-winning Frank Skinner Show (Absolute Radio) and currently presents a hugely successful podcast for The Times called Walking the Dog. She spent eight years as Deputy Editor of InStyle magazine and has written for titles such as The Times, The Evening Standard and Youmagazine. She lives in London, supports Arsenal and her career highlight was when Mark Gatisscalled her 'sci-fi royalty' due to her childhood role in BBC cult series The Day of the Triffids. I never thought I’d read something where somebody *got* it. Where somebody knew that there was no ‘getting over it’ and getting better. That there would always be bad days and good days and sad days and happy days. That there was a long and painful road towards accepting it but never getting over it, never forgetting or brushing it aside or being magically healed from the grief and trauma.
