The Adventures of Tobey As Told By Emma (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893087796)

As the title of the book The Adventures of Tobey: As Told by Emma implies, the entire story is told by Emma. Emma is a dog of slightly smaller-than-average size who was discovered by William after Emma escaped from a less-than-kind owner. Emma's story is told by her in two award-winning books: The Adventures of Emma and More Adventures of Emma.

Tobey is a giant Alaskan malamute that shares a home with Emma; William; William's wife, Molly; Beauregard, a Newfoundland dog; and Socks, a cat that was rescued by Emma when she was an abandoned kitten. Tobey was formerly to be partnered with Allison Stillman, a US customs agent, but Allison was severely injured in an auto accident early in the training stages. Tobey was evaluated as being "too immature" to continue with training, so he was placed in a shelter where William found him.

During a walk one day, Molly and Tobey met Allison who recognized Tobey, and she agreed to train Tobey. Since that time, Tobey has been in demand by a sheriff, a game warden, and others because of his tracking abilities and other traits, which became apparent as people got to know him better. Tobey was even called to testify in court!

The Adventures of Tobey: As Told by Emma is a delightful, heartwarming book that will cheer you while sometimes have you sit on the edge of your seat. The reader may even shed a happy tear.
