I’ve at all times adored tales that included pets in them, even higher when the pet has a voice. Simply this previous week, my very own novel The Queen’s Devoted Companion was revealed. Attending to share the fantastic story that’s Queen Elizabeth’s relationship along with her corgi Susan was one of many biggest joys of my writing profession. Susan was gifted to the queen on her eighteenth birthday by her father, and their fondness for one another knew no bounds—generally actually. Princess Elizabeth, snuck Susan on her honeymoon, stunning her husband when the corgi tunneled out of the blankets she’d been hiding underneath.

Animals don’t decide—at the least most don’t, although I’ve actually gotten a side-eye from one in every of my canine. They simply forgive—except you’re a cat. They’re quirky, they’re enjoyable, and I believe what makes them most pleasing to learn is that we will join with the tales, they’re endearing and hopeful, and make us really feel completely satisfied. They may also be humorous, as we get into the ideas of a canine and see the world from their perspective.
