Candy

This book comprises a series of short stories about a golden retriever dog, told, as it were, in her own words - not in a cutesey-pie, nice doggy sort of way, but more in terms of gentle ironic humor, laced with love. Candy believes she is big, bold, bright and beautiful. Big and beautiful she certainly is, but timid and dumb are perhaps closer descriptions than bold and bright.However, she always seems to find herself in situations where, more by good luck then good management, she does the right thing at the right time. It is hoped that the adult reading the stories to a child will enjoy the humor, while the child will enjoy the adventure as well.The book has been successfully test-read to groups of school children of various ages.
