When tri-colour fox terrier cross, Ellie, was adopted and taken to her forever home three years ago, her new mum, Jean Silver, helped her write a thank-you letter to her Humane Society foster mum.
And so began a series of letters (written by Jean from Ellie’s point of view) which have now become a heart-warming book designed to inspire more people to give rescued dogs a forever home.
Ellie’s joy in her new life is also obvious: “I’m a sprinter! Running fast is what I do. I’m also a swimmer and have learned to love the sea.

“Swimming and running and jumping and catching help my legs to stop shaking like Foxie legs often do.”
Featuring evocative photographs, this charming book is simply written and likely to appeal to dog lovers, both adults and children.
