Making a Difference

This is a true story of what happened in the life of Dog Behaviourist Christine Emerson and her Labrador Fern, both personally and professionally, over 20 years. It would appeal to dog-lovers and those 5 million, in the UK alone, that own dogs.Christine started out without a clue about dog behaviour, but knew she must educate dogs and people to live better together. The experiences along this journey were terrifically sad and also uplifting, hilarious and shocking but they made up a typical slice of life for this Dog Lady.When Christine was attacked by her dog Sam, really skin-ripping attacked, the only option was to put the dog to sleep, or so she thought. But this was a lady that wasn't going to give up easily and eventually she found some words of face-slapping wisdom that took her on a journey that would make more of a difference in the dog and veterinary world than she could ever dream.When she stepped into the world of dogs, wanting to make a difference, she underestimated the effect of being ejacu*""*d on by a Corgi, the thrill of being body-slammed by a Doberman, the chill of helping a spooked Retriever in a haunted pub and the impossible weight of grief almost guaranteed to those that love dogs.By trawling the streets, selling herself and her new 'hippy' theory of Behaviour Counselling, the benefit of taking time to understand the emotional, social and medical need of dogs, she eventually made it to become Head of the Behaviour Services Department for the same vets that she had adopted Sam from, all those years ago.Christine writes accessibly, jargon free, for those who will enjoy an insight into the private life of dogs and their people.
