Emma's Story

Book Cover & Preview Text
..I looked in the corner. I saw a nervous little pup trying to hide from all the action under a sheet of torn newspaper. Our eyes met and something clicked. I heard a far off voice saying,
“I’ll take this one.” I think that Taz was as surprised as I was!
Minutes later I walked out of the kennels with the formalities completed. I now had a document folder, a much lighter wallet (companionship doesn’t come cheap in UK), and the most beautiful dachshund puppy in the world.

About the Book
Give a lonely dog lover a beautiful flat and cream sofa - and what does she do to it? Jan found herself with too much time and very little company. A glimmer of an idea appeared on the horizon - and it wouldn't go away.
The more she fought against the idea - the more firmly it took root. She needed a dog - a challenge she took up with great enthusiasm. Jan armed herself with newspaper ads, Dog World and the phone book, and started seeking out her new best friend. Of course, what she pictured in her mind's eye and what she actually brought home - were poles apart.
From the word go, Emma's Story invites you to join in the fun and games from the stand-offish, nervous little scrap that underwent a Jekyll-and-Hyde transformation to become the beloved companion and co-owner of her empire. Pure of heart, intelligent, loyal and diabolically naughty, this record of Emma's antics will have you laughing and crying and nodding knowingly, because this is a book for dog people, and we know who we are.
About the Author
Jan Smith is an experienced and dedicated dog lover, having had literally herds of canine companions over the years. Born in Britain, she was brought up in Zimbabwe where houses are large and gardens even bigger. Naturally her instinct was to fill up the empty spaces with a series of quirky, characterful four-legged individuals.
