Old Dog

Product Description

Muffin was a rescue dog an ordinary mongrel who joined the Bardsley Mc Gee family in Leeds in 1999. She was three years old a 'little shipwreck' of a dog who had been badly neglected undernourished & contained in a high-rise flat for whole of her young life. The family she came into was also under pressure as the writer's husband Tim was in the middle of a long struggle with cancer & had been told earlier that year that his illness was terminal. Never having previously shown interest in animals Tim bonded almost instantly with chaotic little Muffin who became a steadfast companion during his final months. & during the dark days after Tim's death & when the author's daughter left for university Muffin became a loyal friend with an uncanny ability to display empathy around times of illness & loss. With Muffin reaching the end of her days author Barney Bardsley looks back over the eventful years they have shared to remember the joy & laughter that this loving soulful creature brought to her family. Her story will strike a chord with anyone who has ever loved & been loved by a pet.
