About the Author

David Taylor is a retired banker residing in Southern California. Married to an Australian retired flight attendant they have accumulated a family of three dogs~a beach dog and two beagles.David says three dogs are the perfect number for a dog family. Their interaction is superb. With three of them there is enough diversity to assure independence and when needed a formidable force to make their needs known.David's purpose in writing this book is to provide those that read it with at least part of the joy that Bajan has brought to Robyne and himself.He says "Writing this book has been an uplifting event for me. It has enabled me to put into words the life of a creature that transcends the ordinary and that dog lovers should know about.""Summoning all of my writing skills I could never do justice to Bajan's story but here it is and I hope the reader enjoys it."

This review is from: Bajan's Tale: A Story About a Lucky Dog (Paperback)

I love a heart warming story about those who choose to make their dogs a true member of the family. This is an amazing story about wonderful dogs but mostly about the parents who love them and treat them in every way as an important part of the family. Their love and compassion for their pets only confirms my love for ours. It proves to me that I am not crazy, I am just crazy for my dog, and that's ok!
