THE BREED THAT NEARLY WASN'T
by Beverley Rutland-Manners
The first time ever told. I hesitated to tell this true story for fear that no one would ever believe it because it is stranger than fiction! But here it is, exactly the way it happened.
Who would have thought there would be such powerful opposition to an ordinary person developing a new breed of Therapy Dog? A failed assassination attempt and occlusion between strong forces are just the beginning of the dance between plots and plans designed to destroy the development of the Australian Cobberdog. This true tale uncovers the mysteries behind it all.
