Gypsy's Journey

By Sherry McKnight

"What's happening? Help me!" The small white dog was blind and very scared when animal control officers captured her in an alley near the Kennedy Space Center. This tale about Fluff the Maltese and her adventures from birth to captivity is a great adult-to-child read packed with engaging storytelling and easy "how to" guidance for children to learn about dogs.

Find out how Fluff, the blind vagabond, became Gypsy with "new" eyes to see her forever home. The "tail-tale" story promotes animal awareness and introduces advanced vocabulary words.

The Foreword and Epilogue outline the true account of Gypsy's journey and the vital role of animal rescue volunteers in restoring vision to the homeless dog, resulting in her joyful adoption. Gypsy's narrative introduces children to an assortment of advanced vocabulary words while exposing them to important facts about animal behavior and pet stewardship. Gypsy's wardrobe by Marti Todd of "Tanner Togs"! Update: Gypsy slowly lost her eyesight in fall of 2013 and is now completely blind. UPDATE: Gypsy finally succumbed to old age in September 2015, she slipped away peacefully.
