"Rusty, the Wonder Dog" is the story of a blind rescue puppy, who came to live with his humans and found a good life full of treats, warm blankets and plenty of petting and love. Rusty wandered off as a little puppy chasing a butterfly, and he had a close brush with a car on the highway. He could only see shadows after that, but he could hear anything and smell anything miles away! He made friends with Isis, the Siamese cat, Dasha, a great guard dog, and Alphie, who was rescued as he stood on the yellow line of a highway. They seemed to know quickly that Rusty couldn't see. They guided him down the back steps into the yard. Alphie would run ahead and bark so Rusty would follow. Dasha would walk him shoulder to shoulder down the steps. Then they'd run as fast as they could to the back fence and screech to a halt and run back. Rusty loved to place his nose on his human's knee and beg for a treat. And it always worked! Isis the cat loved to pounce on him which made Alphie and Dasha laugh. The four of them would line up in front of the TV to watch it while Rusty listened. He lived with his humans and loved them as much as they loved him. Over that time, slowly Isis, Dasha and Alphie left their mom and dad and followed the rainbow. One day, it was Rusty's turn to follow a pretty butterfly to the rainbow. On the other side, his friends were waiting for him. They play and run every day in the green grass, sniff the flowers, and snuggle together.
Autorenporträt
Jesse Hillman, a former newspaper publisher, has been writing and editing for newspapers and magazines for over 40 years and is now writing books. Along the way, in another life journey, he worked for FedEx and the Marsh McLennan Companies as an applications programmer, server administrator, senior network administrator and regional technology manager. He is a loving father and grandfather who takes great joy in hearing a child's laughter. He also believes reading is the greatest gift you can give to a child. That led him to write his first children's book, "Rusty, the Wonder Dog," about his blind retriever rescue dog named Rusty, who loved his humans and led a good life. "Rusty taught us how to live with courage," Jesse said. Although this is Jesse's first book, he doesn't believe it will be his last. "My mind is full of a library of children's books," he said. He and his wife, Jacque Hillman, live in Jackson, Tennessee, where they own HillHelen Group Publishers, known for award-winning books of regional and national interest. He is a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association and the Military Writers Society of America.
