Book excerpt: An old farm dog looks back on her life in this spin-off from 'THISTLE SOUP', Peter Kerr's heart-warming memoir of country times past. Set in Scotland's 'Garden County' of East Lothian, 'JEN' is the humour-spiced story of a 'working' Border collie whose fun-loving nature prompts her to uphold a staunch conviction that work is for creatures of a lesser intellect than her own. For her, freedom is what life is all about. Dictated by Jen herself, her thoughts are translated as faithfully as possible into a form that can be understood by beings not blessed with a dog's gift of wordless communication. Often hilarious, occasionally sad, this collie's tale points to the down-to-earth farmyard philosophies of a slightly sweary, doggedly self-assured yet ultimately vulnerable old four-legged friend. A book that will appeal in equal measure to folks already familiar with the crafty quirks and endearing eccentricities of Border collies and to those yet to have the pleasure.
