Katie was a very special dog. She was rescued from the streets of County Durham and entered the lives of a couple. She was with them for some 14 years through thick and thin. She was their companion and friend and the love she gave was returned in full measure. She had adventures at home and on holiday. Katie often went for a run with other dogs and made lots of friends, canine and human. Katie loved car rides, knowing she was off on another adventure. She loved the beach, with the water lapping her paws and the breeze riffling her ears. She loved her garden. There were life’s emergencies, too, with accidents, injuries, and loss. Her owner began to keep a diary of Katie’s life, showing the richness of her experience and the bond that can form between humans and dogs. This diary forms the basis of this book, a must for all dog lovers.
