Growing up in West Yorkshire, Dylan Collard dreamed of having a dog – all the while surrounded by cats. Then he absconded from his feline-dominated family home to London to pursue photography, a job that took him on sporadic assignments around the world. A dog just didn’t fit in.
That was before a little, one-eyed – and very full-on – border terrier called Amos came along. “My partner finally talked me around, but I said that if we were going to have a dog, he had to be the best-trained. I had quite high expectations,” he says.
