What Heidi Knows

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Albert Einstein

What Heidi Knows is the story of Heidi, a Rottweiler and Checkmate,

a Basenji.As a puppy, Heidi was an abused dog, rescued by the Friends of the

Animals Association and later put up for adoption. Heidi adopts a woman to

be her friend but not her master, as she was and still is an alpha dog. Over their

years, Heidi and her human companion explore British Columbia, enduring

many hardships, always striving for a better life.

This story written from Heidis and Checkmates point of view, portrays their

many friends, both canine and human, who pass through their life, some

permanent some temporary.

As the life story of Heidi and Checkmate unfolds, it shows us the many inherent

qualities of a dog, from endurance to tolerance, sympathy and affection to

zealous enthusiasm.
