He was just a baby. His mother had taught him to fear but not how to survive. Now he was orphaned and alone. In addition, he had to learn quickly or he would meet the same fate as his mother and his siblings. However, his way of surviving was almost his undoing. What would become of this lonely, starving pup? How would he manage to survive as an outcast of society - the island low-life, spurned and cruelly treated? The Diplomatic Dog of Barbados is an uplifting, entrancing story told from the point of view of a homeless Barbados "Cane dog" (or mongrel, as we know them) who "made good" and became part of the island high-life. From junkyard to jet set. A glimpse into the contrasting lifestyles within the Caribbean island of Barbados as seen through the eyes of a very special dog amid the whirl of diplomatic life. From being junkyard dog to a jet-set dog, this is a story of contrasting halves –of a dog, which moves from one side of the tracks to the other and rewards his new owners with love and loyalty and the joys that come from seeing a truly happy dog wag its tail! We all like a hard-luck story with a happy ending – well this is it, canine style.
