Rebecca, How wonderful you are and Fancy is so special. A children's book is a wonderful idea! Believe it or not the plight of Fancy has touched me. As a person of mixed race, it is hard to fit in sometimes. My 11 year old daughter experiences this everyday. "You're sorta this, but you're not quite that, so what the heck are you?" (Maybe that's why I love mutts so ) It is so hard to believe people would treat a dog this way!!! Just because he is of a different color. Please take comfort in knowing that Fancy is very special and you and your son are blessed to have her in your lives!
