Watch Barbara Amiel at home, re-enacting Must Love Dogs

---

We were excited to hear that Barbara Amiel had given Maclean’s a one-on-one, on-camera interview, her first in years. That is, until we found out the entire interview was about her passion for dogs—the magazine’s attempt to publicize Amiel’s recent article on purebred breeding and (more so) to sell a few iPad subscriptions. Sure enough, the teaser video contains no juicy details about life with (and without) husband Conrad Black. Instead, Amiel nestles on the couch between her two Hungarian kuvasz, feeding them treats and talking about how “they have a small vocabulary, it’s true, but they relate to you.”
