Synopsis

Information

Border Collie Chandi and her proud owner Tina Humphrey won the hearts of the nation with their fantastic dancing routines on Britain's Got Talent. In this uplifting memoir Tina tells their story, how Chandi enriched her life from the very beginning as a young, curious, pup rescued from the dog pound. Chandi quickly made friends with five-year-old Pepper, Tina's shaggy black and white dog also rescued from the pound, and together they helped her cope with her grief after the loss of her parents to cancer. Their very special bond enabled Tina to excel in the complex art of heelwork to music training for dog events and gave her the courage to perform in front of thousands. Tina and Chandi went on to become Crufts champions and television stars, made possible by Chandi's beautiful temperament and incredible intelligence and Tina's loving training style. This is the story of a friendship built on an unbreakable bond between a devoted dog and her doting owner.
