Reseña del libro "Life From Six Inches Up (en Inglés)"
"Life from Six Inches Up does not depend on celebrities, politicians, or human pet owners to carry the story. In a refreshingly unique approach, the experiences, thinking, and affections of an intelligent, observant, and self-directed dog are expressed by the dog herself. "Lady" is a compelling character. She had fans wherever she traveled in the world. Her fan club will continue to grow as she captivates readers from the first page to the last." "Lady, a purebred dachshund, was born in Indonesia. She shared her views about life with Steve Serdahely (my husband), sitting by his feet, often looking at him directly with her incredibly expressive eyes while he transcribed her thoughts on note pads. Lady and Max were our dogs. According to Lady, Max was a "second-hand' dog - a corgi and dachshund mix, who transformed the very sophisticated and queen-like "Lady" through his simple and accepting view of life. In the first half of the book, Lady describes her early life in Indonesian culture and the challenges of adapting to a different culture when we moved to America. In the second half of the book -"Dialogues with Max" - the reader is introduced to the contrasting viewpoints of two dogs, who were brought up separately in very different cultures during the first five years of their lives. Although Life-From Six Inches Up is written from a Dachshund's perspectives, Lady's thoughts and ideas are most likely shared by other dog breeds. May Lady and max inspire you to "listen" to the thoughts, experiences, and wisdom of your dog companions. You may be surprised at what you learn." Footnote: I found the draft of this manuscript after Steve passed away among his files. It was as if he had left me a gift to support me through the grieving period. In giving it the finishing touch, many happy memories of my witty and loving life-partner sustained me during this loss.
