The Beginning of Softie's Adventures

A Dog Named Softie: Book One

Charmaine always wanted a puppy but was too busy working and travelling with her husband, Michael. Eventually, they decided to search for a puppy, and found one! The first time Charmaine held the little white fluffy dog, she decided to name her Softie. She was the softest little shih tzu they had ever met.

Excited for Softie to join the family, Charmaine and Michael cared for her and helped her adjust to her new environment. They played, groomed, fed, and took her to the vet. But will Softie be a suitable match for Charmaine, Michael, and their adventures?

"This book is about a family who got an amazing dog who became a part of the family. She was loved and cared for by the owners, Michael and Charmaine. They took great care of her. She had the best owners, she was showered, she was fed, and her health was also in check. They were intrigued by her mischievous behaviour. She was never left when they were travelling out of town. She was like their handbag. The book also explores the dog’s attitude, the family acquiring a beautiful RV, and how the dog brought joy and laughter to the home and the lives of the owners. This is a good book for the family to read."
