Tony Hawks's Guide to the Guides

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Testing the guide books that claim to help us navigate our way around our holidays.
5: This week Hawks finds himself the guardian of a large, but friendly, dog. With the help of Pets Welcome and the extraordinary Your Dog magazine, he sets off for Cambridgeshire and Suffolk to see if he and Billy (a golden retriever) can spend the weekend bonding.
All seems to be going well - they punt down the Cam, go for a walk with some lurchers and take in a doggy spa - but their relationship is tested when Hawks discovers that a night at a smart hotel, where pets are considered the important guests, means that he and Billy have to share a room. Producer Lucy Willmore
