In a departure from her popular crime series, Jennie Finch has
teamed up with her cousin, Jem Cooney, to tell the story of
promises, hope and Woodstock, the little underdog who achieved
extraordinary things. "Puppy Brain" is the tale of two women who
adopt the dog of an old friend. As well as taking Lucy, a Tibetan
Spaniel, they also promise to honour his last wishes - for Lucy to
have puppies and to train them to show. Although Liv and Petra are
experienced dog owners, they are total amateurs in the breeding and
showing world. They gather a small group of people around them from
the dog showing community - the Puppy Brain group - and embark on a
new and challenging course. Over several years, they face
opposition and hostility from several sources as some in the
insular world of dog showing try to drive them out, including Liv's
own sister. Determined to honour their promise they persist, making
new friends and allies in unexpected places as they aim for the
"Big One" - a place at Crufts. Inspired by their mutual love and
admiration for these lovely and tricky little dogs, Jennie and Jem
shared stories and experiences to produce this novel, the first of
three. "Puppy Brain" is not a typical "fluffy dog" story but it can
amuse and inspire with its humour and its heart.
