In the Author-Dogs -series Timo Parvela tells us how his dogs affect his work as a writer and everyday life. Take a walk with Parvela and his Lancashire Heelers Muru and Pate accompanied by reporter Marko Gustafsson to explore the terrains of Kirkkonummi.
Every dog owner knows how big of an impact a dog has on our daily routines and how much emotional support it can provide. The dogs’ unending enthusiasm of exploring its own environment is as endearing as the joy which they express when their owners return home.
The Author-Dogs -series was born out of love and respect for our furry four-legged friends. We wanted to find out how dogs affect the work of a writer and whether the writers were inspired by their dogs. In the series we meet up with writers for a walk with their dog and hear how their daily routines and work is affected by the dog. Does going for a walk break the flow of writing or does it cheer up the mind for a better flow of ideas?
