I am Ann Russell, a professional writer of long standing. I live at Piha on the wild West Coast of Auckland, a world famous surfing village in New Zealand. About the author.
The idea for a children's fictional story presented itself when I brought home an abused Humane Society rescue dog, a tricolour Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Truffles or Little Truff.
New Release – Little Truff, a must read for ALL animal lovers
To all children – and parents – who love dogs, I would like to introduce my latest book, Little Truff. I used to have a rescue dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was a gorgeous little girl who had been badly mistreated before we got her. She gave me the idea for writing this book. It is aimed at ALL animal lovers so anyone who loves puppies and dogs will love it too!
As the story shaped up, I included many experiences I’d had as a dog owner, especially my observations of the effect of abuse on puppies and dogs, the trauma they suffer and the difficulties they have to face when they finally – hopefully – find a new, loving home to go to.
