Lacey's Story

About the Book

Lacey is almost 11 years old, but her life has been filled with travels,
many awards, a whole lot of friends, and a very scary adventure too!
     Lacey is a little black Cocker Spaniel, who spent the first six years of
her life in a kennel with brothers, sisters, and puppies.  She traveled with
her trainers to many dog shows and won many ribbons because she was
so beautiful.
       After she was retired, she came to live with the Author of
Lacey's Story, where she began a new life as a Therapy Dog.  She even
won a new award  when she was voted to be a Pet Idol by the readers of
the local newspaper.
     Hers is a tale waggin' story of all the adventures packed into
her 101/2 years.  Most of all she has made many friends with the children
who read to her, and everyone she has met, because Lacey loves everyone,
and everyone loves Lacey!
