Many of the same characters involved previously involved in the activities at the Riverview Animal Shelter return in this sixth book of the series.
In this book, you will meet someone who seeks to understand almost everything. The author can identify with her because she is also one who seeks to understand. To her, knowledge supports wisdom, and she loves to share wisdom with others.
In Understanding Miss Understanding, we find young adults Alice and Ben serving as counselors at the Kids’ Camp run over the summer at the Riverview Animal Shelter by Jane, Ruth, and Millie to teach local youth how to care for and train their dogs.
Seriously sick dogs and an ill camper make Alice into an amateur detective, aiding a real detective, James, from the local police force to seek the truth of the apparent poisonings. Her dog, Misty, plays a role in solving the puzzle.
Alice’s inquisitiveness and insights earn her the playful nickname, Miss Understanding.
The results of the investigation put Alice on a new course for her life, one that intersects with the path being taken by Tippie’s owner, Art, on his way to becoming a veterinarian.
Another camper’s life changes greatly, too.
From the author: In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what their dog is trying to tell them. I’ve enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs). My goal has always been to reach a wider audience, which publishing my books will allow.
I’ve always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to learn and remember valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative.
This is the sixth in her multi-book series, following UNDERSTANDING SASSIE; UNDERSTANDING SASSIE, II; UNDERSTANDING CHAMP; UNDERSTANDING TRIXIE; and UNDERSTANDING TIPPIE. Readers can enjoy each without having read the others. All six novels combine upbeat personal stories with insights about training dogs with love.
