“I found this to be an absolutely delightful book, not just about travel and dogs…but also about the strong bonds of family, and about love, loss, grief and hope. It also packs in plenty of humour and wit, which made it a very enjoyable read.“

Amazon Review

“You don’t have to be a Dachshund lover to fall in love with the Fleetwood family, but by the end you too will be noticing those sausage like canines wherever you go.“

Amazon Customer

“Lisa’s words will warm your heart, make you laugh, and have you nodding in agreement when it comes to losses & joys in our lives, especially the pet-lovers in all of us.“

D Cherry

“What a wonderfully captivating read! Destination Dachshund is a humorous, yet moving memoir…there are moments that tugged at the heartstrings as well as a whole load of hilarious anecdotes, a bit of history and of course, the dachshund spotting!“

Melissa

“A truly engaging read that is so much more than a travel memoir. While the Fleetwood’s travel through Europe, they must also navigate their own grief. Destination Dachshund is a remarkable book – filled with honesty and humour, and the sights, smells and sounds of amazing locations.“

Sharyn

“Destination Dachshund is truly a delightful read. The author unpacks with warmth and humour the intricacies of family relationships, our love of pets, and the joy of travel.”
