Understanding Ragamuffin, Millie's Protective Dog, a Bouvier des Flandres: A Riverview Animal Shelter Mystery Novel (Book No. 23)
Despite His Name, Ragamuffin Is a Classy Dog Millie's cell phone rang. She recognized the caller ID. It's that terrifying person again: "I will not answer that call! He will only give me more fear and trouble! MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GET A DOG FOR MY PROTECTION." Found in a wood pile, this rare Bouvier Des Flandres --- named "Ragamuffin" or "Rags" for short --- grows to be a protective and stately companion for Millie and eventually for Millie's daughter, Regina. Helen Trains Dogs and Their Owners Helen Bemis has enjoyed working with dogs all her life, and they have played essential roles in her novels. She grew up on a dairy farm in Upper New York State; she attended Albany Medical Center School of Nursing. She is widowed and has three children. She earned a college degree from SUNY Adirondack, holds the Certified Professional Dog Trainer international certification, and runs a successful business, K-9 Karing. She speaks to many organizations and teaches dog safety and other dog-related topics to schools as well as at her local college. She has published over twenty Riverview Animal Shelter novels, featuring romance, mystery, and information about dog training. She loves to hear people say, "Helen has gone to the dogs!"
"Skye waited in the airport lobby for her husband, Gary. She'd hidden a surprise under her oversized coat. This bulge will make a happy surprise for Gary."
That surprise puppy eventually grew to be a full-size Golden Retriever, Quincy. The town of Riverview, especially those connected with the Riverview Animal Shelter (RAS), endured a series of unexpected developments.
An adage says, "Revenge is a dish best served cold." An angry bomber is unlikely to wait, however. This one did not.
Gary, Skye, and Quincy returned home to Riverview after an incident caused their plane to be diverted to Canada. Once in the U.S., they anticipated a quick trip home, but Mother Nature had other ideas. They rerouted around a storm and ended up near the Smithsonian Zoo, where Quincy got his first experience with an elephant.
Skye had lent her older dog, Bones, trained as a cadaver dog, to the local police while studying in England. One of their officers implored her to let him keep Bones on the job, and Skye agreed, as Quincy was already a handful.
