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.”
