For two British journalists, embarking on a year's adventure in Greece just as the country faces economic collapse seems foolhardy. But when they also decide to take their adored but crazy Jack Russell, called Wallace, to a crisis-weary country with zero dog tolerance, the adventure seems like madness ...
Mad Adventures On A Greek Peninsula
