"No pet can wish for more than this: to be lovingly cared for while alive, and fondly remembered thereafter."This story is an almost-true personal account of Muffin; a lovable, floppy-eared, mixed-breed dog. Born in Nova Scotia in 1980, Muffin's tale begins with a military family who are challenged to give him the care that a frisky young pup requires. Fortuitously, he acquires a new forever-home with a kind young couple who are seeking a guard-dog.Over the course of his lifetime, Muffin experiences love, loss, and the simple joys of life, leaving an indelible mark on the many friends he makes, human and otherwise. Set against the backdrop of rural Nova Scotia, this story celebrates the forging of deep bonds which are possible between people and their cherished furry companions.This chapter book is designed for the enjoyment of children, particularly from ages of 5-10. Atlantic Canadian children especially may relate well to this story. The author sincerely hopes that readers of all ages will delight in Muffin's clever autobiography as much as she has enjoyed helping Muffin craft his simple yarn.
