Opis

This is a biography of a very special dog. It was written just as Marley and Me was published which served to encourage the author to complete the very painful story of the life and death of a much loved pet. But as he did so a number of spooky coincidences became evident. The dog was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, amongst the breeds that many consider aggressive and dangerous. This dog showed none of those traits. He was genuine, reliable and totally loyal. But he did have one characteristic which made him stand out from the rest. His coat colour was blue. Within the breed, this pigment is, (or was) very much despised because it was thought to create poor looking specimens. That was until Josh appeared who stole the hearts of thousands around the world. Blue Genes charts the life story of a dog who became part of a family living in the industrial West Midlands, including his show career, the illness which proved difficult to diagnose and the almost star teatment he recieved wherever he went. He appeared on a calendar, in a video, in a book and then as a model for a porcelain figure. Blue Genes is a story of pride and passion, of envy and prejudice. But it is a love story that demonstrates just how inspirational animals can be and is suitable for those who own pets or not and may help to correct the irresponsible and false views expressed in the media which so maligns the breed. And it is all true.
