Description
This is a very real story about a very real dog. It’s a story with a sad beginning but a very happy ending. It’s a story about a Dachshund called Edgar ExtraLong. Why ExtraLong you may ask?
The answer to this question forms the backdrop to this inspirational story that, while based on fact, required some fantasy and imagination to join the dots.
Edgar was bred by the Lee Brothers - famous show dog makers who were perfectionists in every way. They made every type of dog you can think of and they had a recipe for each.
As luck would have it, conditions weren’t perfect the day Edgar was made. An unexpected gust of wind shuffled the dog recipe pages with dire consequences for Edgar’s career as a show dog. When Edgar was only five months old, nobody even wanted him.
Edgar managed to overcome adversity. How he did so holds many lessons of life that are worth listening to and never forgetting. Edgar’s story is inspiring, fascinating and, in many places, very funny. Keep some tissues handy though …..
While this book was written with children aged 6 to 12 in mind, my hope is that its humour, mystery, suspense, and fantasy will also appeal to adult readers that are animal lovers or young at heart.
