With these stories of a vet's wife, the author is back with more heart-warming, zany and hilarious tales of an ever-growing family of pets in the Eastern Cape. Some have passed on and others have joined the household. The additions include Squash and Parker, two cape penguins; a fearsome canine; and a seal who finds a home in the swimming pool. Others make a reappearance - like the fastidious cat Spittie, and Nuggie, the poetry-loving feline. "Dog in My Footsteps" is a quirky peek into the lives of a not too conventional family whose views on animals are anything but dull. Just as delightful and light-hearted as the first collection, "Dog in My Footsteps" will appeal to animal lovers of all ages. Chrystal Sharp lives in the Eastern Cape with her veterinarian husband and their son. They are dedicated conservationists and much of their free time is devoted to the rehabilitation of marine and other wildlife.
