If you have read my book My Dear Ellie (thank you!), you would have come across Cassie’s wonderful puppy Buddy. Actually Buddy might technically be Ellie’s, based on unfair puppy favoritism. Cassie knows this and has on occasion displayed slight jealousy in her naturally green eyes. She, however, quickly gets over it as Ellie helps her walk buddy early in the morning (Cassie is not a morning person at all!)
I chose Buddy to be a rescue puppy in the novel for a specific reason. I believe it is important to support your local animal shelters. There are wonderful cats, dogs, rabbits and all kinds of wonderful animals just waiting to find their forever homes and give all their love to their new owners. For buddy, it was love at first sight for both Ellie and Cassie. Perhaps you will have the same experience too 😊
In my second novel (a work currently in progress!), I will focus and highlight some of the animals Ellie encounters on her trip around the world. It would be great to see from her perspective as she is such a animal and nature lover. I can’t wait until the book is ready for readers to read! (Lol that was a tongue twister). Hope that you are having a good day, please remember to take good care of yourselves 💕

Great minds think alike. I’m writing on the same topic – going to post it soon. This shelter in place time has brought a lot of shelter pets like Buddy into loving homes. That’s one good outcome!
