Mike White is well known for his hard hitting investigative crime and justice journalism including coverage of Mark Lundy, Scott Watson, and the murder of Scott Guy.
The North and South senior writer is also a life long dog-lover and has written a new book, illustrated by Stuff and Dominion Post cartoonist Sharon Murdoch, about life in and around a dog park.
White's current dog Cooper features heavily in How to Walk a Dog but so do the dogs that have helped shape who he is.
