Old Dog, Paperback / softback Book

Old Dog Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Muffin was a rescue dog, an ordinary mongrel who joined the Bardsley McGee family in Leeds in 1999.

She was three years old, a 'little shipwreck' of a dog who had been badly neglected, undernourished and 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 and 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. And during the dark days after Tim's death, and when the author's daughter left for university, Muffin became a loyal friend with an uncanny ability to display empathy around times of illness and 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 and laughter that this loving, soulful creature brought to her family.

Her story will strike a chord with anyone who has ever loved, and been loved, by a pet.
