Description
Over the past 10 years, author Sandra Gerencher has been on a mission to
save dogs from high-kill animal shelters. Her first rescue was P.J.,
the black and white Pomeranian in the story. She also adopted the orange
Pomeranians Shelby and Lil Rascal, and of course, Chance, the big black
Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix.
All characters in the story are based on Sandra's real life family. The
book is filled with softly blended watercolor photos of her loved ones.
Her most significant adoption was her son, Terry. He was considered a
special needs child because he was born with a genetic disorder known as
Fragile X Syndrome. The disorder can cause many cognitive disorders,
such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mental
retardation and depression.
