Bawrdy Ryan - the tale of a dog

This is a new story for children by a new KDP author.The story centres around a self-important little dog named Bawrds who lives on a farm in Drommoud with a number of other dogs. He has an obsession and passion for all kinds of food. As he gets older he becomes extremely bossy and dictates in all manner of ways to John his owner. He excels in school and becomes established in the local community. Four children feature throughout the story and they have various escapades with Bawrds and the other dogs in the area. The dogs manage to ward off thieves on one occasion and on another they have a hair raising trip to the village for medicine for John. The dogs create havoc in the city library when they visit it and make a daring raid for food to a city butcher’s cold room store. At one point in the story the oldest dog on the farm dies and the rest of the dogs and children come to grips with this event. Then they take part in the rescue of a child at the beach and shortly after that the most gentle and nervous dog in the story dies unexpectedly in a fire at the farmhouse. After the fire John decides to move to his original home area and his new puppy there gets attacked by the crusty old neighbour’s mongrels. It is while she is recuperating that Bawrds becomes more attached to her. The old neighbour mellows and becomes good friends with John. He pays particular attention to John’s widowed sister when she comes to visit the children. Other relationships developing are hinted at. At the very end of the story Bawrds becomes a daddy and crusty old Ebenezer’s mongrel bitch also has puppies much to the delight of all. Ebenezer becomes a little infatuated with Mother and life goes on. The wheels keep turning.
