This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No, Raymond, that doesn't mean you can spend all

the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply. Pet plan is a trading name of Allian's

Insurance PLC.

Hi there, I'm Emily Dean and welcome to the best of walking the dog.

It's a compilation of all my favorite bits and more importantly all my favorite dogs and owners from the podcasts we've done this year.

I know sometimes people come out with these best stoves and you think, right, so basically you couldn't be bothered to record a new one.

And I would say to you, yes there is that, but quite genuinely I did think it might be nice to remind ourselves of what makes Garylinica cry.

The incident that propelled Sarah Milliken to get into comedy,

that thing Jim Carey said to Jimmy Carr, and most crucially, how Matt Lucas managed to

somehow lose an entire Labrador's poo.

I really hope you've enjoyed this year.

I've loved it.

And I've been overwhelmed by the way

with all your comments and feedback

about walking the dog.

It really makes it worth doing.

So thank you, my adorable dog-loving listening. the dog in the coming year. In the meantime, enjoy it.

And remember this life tip.

Find someone who looks at you the way your dog looks at one of your dirty old socks.

Right, come on, Marnie.
