Pauline Jacqueline Adams Valentines Journey Moves Pet Lovers Literature Closer into the Realm of Seriously Engaging Reads


HAGERSTOWN, Md. (PRWEB) January 11, 2013

Through booster shots, puppyhood distemper, teething, and obedience training, Pauline Jacqueline Adams Valentine’s Journey, a work about a puppy she found online in the Internet whom she and her husband fell in love with, is literature pet lovers will fall for, displaying a depth of pet psychology/training that should become a standard for the millions of households who have welcomed canis familiaris as a valuable addition to family. Wanting only to give her a happy home, the author has found that, more than someone who could provide them with good memories, their pet Valentines life offers lessons that many can learn from.

Valentine is a female of the Havanese toy breed mischievous, playful little dogs considered native to Cuba that have been pampered lapdogs for Havana aristocracy for centuries. Pretty and intelligent like most of her breed, Valentines Journey is a detailed approximation of how, if Valentine crashed a word processor to tell the tale of what she has seen and felt, a dogs life would sound to people. It is, there is no avoiding the word, cute and cuddly and perfectly attuned to the uses which Valentines breed has been developed.

Both in the personal and generalized sense, the books seemingly simple story moves into the realm of formal (even laudable) literature. Mankind is moving into that sphere, ready to acknowledge other species as deserving elevation following its level. It is an idea whose time comes closer with the appearance of this tactile, engaging work of the biographers art. Completed by the authors own watercolor paintings, this is a book to treasure.
