Rescues 02 Emma a Journey to Happiness

By Haley Langwood

This is the story about our little rascal, Emma. She's a rescue from Portugal. Also, I wrote about Faith, Sophie, and of course, Max. Emma was never wanted by her owner, or she would have never kicked Emma and her mother out on the streets, nearly blind, I might add!

I always say that there isn’t much to tell about me. In 2020, right before the Corona pandemic, my husband and I moved back from Germany to the Netherlands. I love to write stories, and it’s still a learning process, as it’s with many things.I like traveling and taking care of Emma, my doggie. Also, I would like more spare time to read, but all my time is divided between my regular job, writing stories, and Emma.I’ve been a vegetarian for many years now and never regretted it. Also, I despise people who wear fur. It’s disgusting! I will never understand people who help keep maintaining this awful industry of torturing and killing animals.I like to cook and love to try new recipes; it’s how I learned that nearly every dish can be served with meat substitutes.My husband and I spend the winters in beautiful Spain, where the temperatures are pleasant. Even so, it’s Italy that’s still my favorite country.That’s enough for now. If you have questions, just contact me.

Special thanks to the team (all volunteers) of the Abandoned Pets Foundation, who are working tirelessly to rescue dogs from certain death and provide them forever homes.

My Emma was one of the lucky ones who the APF rescued, and for that, I will always be grateful.

Furthermore, I want to thank all those special people who make it their mission to rescue animals of all sorts, not just the dogs. To me, you are the true heroes and so special.

And finally, a special thank you to my dear husband, who came up with some great ideas for this book. Because of him, I was finally able to start writing and, what’s even more important, finishing Emma’s story.

Why did I want to write Emma’s story?

I wrote this story in memory of those poor dogs who lost their lives in a kill shelter after a hard and unfair life on the streets. And, for those poor dogs who still live a hard, miserable life on the streets, right now. Unfortunately, street dogs are looked down on by most people, which is so very wrong.

In writing Emma’s story, I hope to change the mind of many of my readers that when they see a dog in need, they help instead of ignoring them.

It took me a long time to finally start with Emma’s story (Almost two years). And until January 16th, 2021, I still wasn’t sure how to write certain things down. For starters, I had no clue how to start her story in the first place.

The fact is that I know very little about Emma’s first two years while she was living in Portugal. I had no idea how to start writing this book, and then there was the emotional part. Every time I started writing, it somehow felt wrong. With stories like this one, you need to feel every word you write. And that wasn’t the case for me. I began writing about Emma, but to me, the words had no meaning. It was like that every time, which frustrated me so much that I decided to put Emma’s story on hold until I really felt ready
