About the Book
Inspiration for Emily to the Rescue comes from the real-life Emily, who is not only the author’s niece but also her dedicated sidekick in puppy rescue. Emily’s genuine love for animals made her the perfect character for this heartwarming puppy rescue story. The author has been deeply involved in dog rescue for many years, so it’s only natural that the story draws on real-life experiences, such as the challenge of not being able to contact a dog’s owner when a microchip is absent and the legal requirement for stray dogs to be taken to the local council pound within three days if their owner cannot be found. Just like her fictional counterpart, the real Emily sometimes feels sad when puppies are adopted, but she understands that there are always more puppies who need rescuing.
We hope this story inspires young readers and their families to consider how they might make a difference. Perhaps your family could explore becoming foster carers, or at least look into rescues and shelters to find your next very best friend.
