Dylan's Tale - Harry Porter - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat 

"Do you know what it's like to wake up every day and be afraid? I did. I was just a few weeks old when I was taken from my mother, a tiny Bedlington Terrier puppy, all cute and cuddly as puppies always are. Being a puppy at home with my mother was just great. My two brothers and sisters would play with me all day long until we'd get tired. Then we'd curl up beside Mum, and have a good sleep. Mum would feed us all regularly, and we soon grew bigger and stronger... After the warmth and the love and security of living with my mother and my brothers and sisters, it came as quite a shock when one day, the lady who looked after all of us took me from my mother and sold me to a man, who, right from the time he got me back to his home, seemed to enjoy making my life as miserable as possible." 

Dylan is a Bedlington Terrier which is known for its speed and the fact that it looks somewhat like a sheep. Dylan's new owner decided that due to his speed, he would make a good dog for rabbit hunting. But the man was without patience and would kick and beat Dylan when he didn't follow orders. 

If you've read Tilly's Tale you already know that Dylan will be rescued, but it's the hardships leading up to the rescue, the unlikely person who actually rescues him and how he allows trust back into his life that makes the story so precious. This wonderful true story had me crying tears of sadness by the time I'd reached page 3, and at the end, I cried again, but this time, with tears of relief and happiness for Dylan. If you're an animal lover, you can't help but love this series of "Tales" which started with Tilly's Tale, continued to Dylan's Tale and will soon be extended to Charlie's Tale. These heartwarming stories will have you hooked from book one.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed looking at the Mayflower sAnctuary, Kathi. Tilly, Dylan, Charlie and Muttley all came from there, and we once had a collie cross called Milly from them too. It is indeed a wonderful place that started with nothing and has built up through charitable donations into the lovely place it is today, and they care so much for every dog in their care. We do all we can to support their wonderful work.

Brian:

I just looked at Mayflower Sanctuary.  What an amazing place it is.  It is so nice to see people who care so much and give so much to save our fur babies.  Thank you for posting the link, I will go often and see what is happening.

Hugs Kathi

Thanks Kathi, so do I and I appreciate your kind words. Oddly enough, I have a novel coming out in the summer bearing the title Behind Closed Doors, and the publisher, Sonar 4 Publications, has generously agreed to donate $1 from every paperback sale to The Mayflower Sanctuary, where many of my dogs have come from and where they do such great work in rescuing and re homing hundreds of dogs a year. You cna read all about the book at http://inspectornorris.webs.com/Here is the cover of my Victorian Murder/Mystery.

Wonderful Brian!!  I hope many, many more will read your books and realize just what goes on "behind closed doors".  Keep up the good work you are one in a million.

Hugs to all Kathi
