A dog's guide to training your human, in ten easy steps
If you've ever owned, loved and despaired of a dog, you'll know these pictures come from the heart.

Country Life illustrator Annie Tempest - the brilliant artist behind the weekly Tottering-By-Gently cartoon - has come up with a new series of pictures about life with your dog.
And they are, frankly, marvellous. We don't think we've ever seen the joy, frustration and hilarity of dog ownership so amusingly depicted.
Without further ado, here they are:

Grabbing your chance
