Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

Story Behind The Book

Throughout the last twenty-five years I have studied in depth how relationships work for the better or as it sometimes happens, for the worse. Since High School, I have listened to friends who expressed relationship issues. It has been my conclusion that relationships are based solely on something I’ve come to know as the Relationship Triangle. In discovering this concept I often advised my friends on how to correct broken parts of their relationships and how to strengthen the triangle if they wanted to save them. As time passed I found I repeated the idea of the Relationship Triangle over and over. In doing this, I discovered that the concept applied not only to couples but in all relationships. This included interactions between family members, co-workers as well as business relationships. Once this realization hit me I knew one day I would write a book that concentrated on the Relationship Triangle. After all of these years of helping friends and family sort their concerns and issues in regard to relationships, that day has arrived for me to spread to others what I have learned beyond helping acquaintances.
