When Lesley Winton and her beloved black Labrador Holly's paths crossed it was the beginning of a remarkable journey for them both. Each bore the scars of some difficult years however, slowly but surely they would mend each other becoming inseparable and constant companions for almost five years. They would bring out the best in each other. They rarely left one another's side until Holly's passing in May 2013. Holly, The Mahogany Girl has been written in memory of Holly and as a tribute to her. A victim of neglect in her early years, the book tells the wonderful story of Holly's recovery and highlights and celebrates the incredible resilience of the human and animal bond and the strength and inspiration that comes when such soulmates connect. It also tackles the additional difficulties pet owners can face when the devastation of pet loss is not taken seriously. A wonderful read that will make you laugh and cry and move and inspire you in equal measures.
