What has Monty Don said about his dogs?
Monty Don has a special place in his heart for dogs.
He shares the affection he holds on them with his fans on his website.
He says: "I have lived with dogs all my life and so it is absolutely natural to me that wherever I am in the garden I should be accompanied by a dog or two.
"It is their garden as much as mine or any other members of the family.
"Something that I take for granted is that, by and large, they do absolutely no damage and respect the garden completely.
"They (rarely) dig holes or crash through the flower beds.
"They do treat the long paths as bowling alleys down which they career in chase of the ball that we are obliged to throw, but it is harmless enough.
