Fiona Finds Her Purpose

A Story of a Black Lab, Two African Wild Dog Pups, and their Brief Encounter

Beschreibung

Fiona Finds Her Purpose is a story of survival under unlikely circumstances. A pair of African Wild Dog pups come into the world only to be abandoned by their mother. Their zookeeper, determined to keep them from bonding with humans, must find a lactating African wild dog to foster them. There are none to be found, at least not right away. Meanwhile, miles away in a kill shelter, a black lab abandoned for having given birth to stillborn puppies awaits her fate. Will their paths cross? What will the future bring?

Autor

A storyteller by nature, Karen Rieser threads together both fact and fiction to deliver her message. Her love of nature, her desire for all animals to be treated ethically, and a yearning to know the rest of the story motivated her to write, Fiona Finds Her Purpose. Karen's career as an educator and mother of twins was spent in Portage, MI. As an empty-nester, she continued teaching and studied to be a docent at a nearby zoo. It was here she heard the story of a very parasite-infested dog that had been found just in time to foster a pair of abandoned African Wild puppies. Using only that information, Karen researched and created Fiona Finds Her Purpose. Karen moved to Traverse City, MI, upon retirement, and now spends her time substitute teaching, traveling, freelance writing, and enjoying artistic endeavors. The messages taught in Fiona's story are important: respect life regardless of its form, understand that the Earth must be cared for, and that we all play a part in one another's survival.
