In her latest book, she writes an entertaining and comical story based on her friendship with the owner of a miniature Dachshund, whose name really is “Oscar,” and how his ongoing shenanigans, starting from puppy hood, keep him in trouble at every turn. These capers are depicted as they actually happened.
Atkinson writes knowledgably about the natural resources of her home state of Rhode Island, and her lead human character, “Rachel,” being a marine biologist, explores the coastline in and around Narragansett Bay. She writes about the summer resort areas of Watch Hill, Misquamicut, and other locations in Westerly, Rhode Island.
Her inspiring narrative ends with guided suggestions for readers who are thinking of adopting a pet; and she presents a realistic approach to anyone considering taking on this responsibility.view less
