This book is based on a true story about a little Scottish Terrier named Bridie Dolores. Grandma was lonely and the dog was a gift from her children and grandchildren - to cheer her up. The story tells of the special bond, not only between Grandma and Bridie Dolores, but a bond of love that touched the grandchildren's and their Grandma's lives over time and space. That is why it is so very special, that Isabella, one of the grandchildren who grew up with Bridie, did the illustrations for this book. Children will love the the way the story is written in rhyme - it adds to the fun element of the book.
