Meet the Author

Alison Smith
Alison Smith
Alison Smith is the editor of Our Dogs, the UK's oldest newspaper for dog owners. She has owned Staffordshire Bull Terriers for the last 20 years, has had success in the show ring, and is the author of An Owner's Guide: Staffordshire Bull Terriers, published by HarperCollins.
 
The Dog's Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. It cares for more than 12,000 dogs each year at its growing network of re-homing centers around the UK.

Good To Know

In our interview, Smith shared some fun facts about herself:

"I love oysters! I will only eat them raw. Last summer my friends and I rented a house for a week on Long Island. We bought an oyster knife and fresh oysters from the local fisherman and learned to shuck them ourselves. Then we had an oyster eating contest. I ate 30 in one sitting."

"The current song with which I am obsessed: Rod Stewart's Maggie May. Yes, you heard right, Rod Stewart. Listen to it -- it's a good song -- great lyrics. And the mandolin at the end -- lovely."

"When I am completely stuck with a piece of writing, I like to try standing on my head and talking myself through it. There is something about being upside down that can help me shift into a new mode."

"When I was in grade school I wanted to be a farmer so that I could hang out with the livestock. When I was in high school I wanted to be a cemeterologist so that I could hang out in Mount Hope Cemetery all day taking rubbings of gravestones. When I was in college, I though that I would be a teacher -- in order to do something useful with my life. I thought being a writer was too self-indulgent."
