Essie

“You have done what? Are you out of your mind? Don't think for a second we will be looking after her for you". This was the first response to the news that our daughter had bought a puppy.

On her own, with a full time job, a two bedroom city flat and now a puppy, life was definitely about to become interesting.

And how wrong we were, as Essie became an integral part of the family.

Essie is the story of a white Boxer who really should not have survived, but went on to enrich the lives of everyone who met her.

Take a look through Essie's eyes as she reflects on her life as it draws to a close. A relatively short life filled with love, fun and adventures.

An intelligent and gifted dog, with a beautiful nature but highly selective hearing!

Smile warmly and remember with us as we celebrate Essie's life through the pages and photographs of this short story.
