Laurel Everyone's Best Friend

This is a true story about a remarkable Staffordshire bull terrier called Laurel. Laurel first came to live with me about seven years ago and this book not only goes through the happy times but also the not so happy. Although Laurel herself is not in the best of health - something I will always partly blame myself for - she never ceases to make people smile. She has helped me through some pretty traumatic times in her short lifetime and at the end of day a smile is never far away when Laurel is around. The book traces the early days, training sessions, rewards, responsibilities, laughter and sadly the all too frequent visits to the vet's. Also, while writing this book, instances from my childhood re-emerged with certain things I had never discussed with anyone before now. The book also traces the closeness I feel towards my parents and my grandparents who now, sadly, are no longer with us. Anybody who has, or who has ever 'owned' a pet will find so much they can relate to in this book and in these days where animal cruelty tragically appears to be on the increase it is refreshing to read that most humans really do care for animals. Also after reading this book I hope to paint a truer picture of the ` Staffie' and show just how sensitive this particular breed can be towards it's human friends. There was only one title I could give this book: LAUREL - EVERYONE'S BEST FRIEND. For an autographed copy of the book, please contact the author directly at [email protected]
