Intrepid Fiona is Finally Home
By Carolyn Turner
Fiona was a sweet, curious dog born into horrific circumstances. She was also born with severe hip issues that prevented her from walking. Against all odds, she was removed from the puppy mill when she was three years old and given a new chance at life. All Fiona needed was an opportunity to show that she could overcome all her obstacles. Through her determination and some help, she learned to walk and then run. This is a story of love, a bit of luck, and the power of perseverance.

Fiona’s story will capture your heart and provide an inspiring message for the little ones and beyond.
I’m an animal lover, so this type of story is right up my alley, and I was predisposed to like it. But after reading it – and seeing the amazing illustrations (Fiona looks like herself! Check out the author photo) – I can say it truly is a story of perseverance and unconditional love. I love that Carolyn took a chance on this little dog and put so much time and energy into helping Fiona become the best dog she could be. I don’t have children but many nieces and nephews, and because I love books, I’m always on the lookout for books to give them as gifts. All the young kids in my family will be getting a copy of Fiona’s story!
I love this story. Itâs a must read for every age. This story is about Fiona, a dog that has had a hard, unfair, and lonely life until, one day, Carolyn comes to the shelter and it was love at first sight. Because of Fionaâs isolated life in a cage, she couldnât walk or even understand regular âdog thingsâ. But Carolyn didnât care. She loved Fiona just as she was and was determined to give her the best life that she could. The story is told in a way that everyone can connect with. Beautiful illustrations and a heartfelt telling of Fionaâs journey from sad beginnings to extraordinary love and a brand new world. What a beautiful message about never giving up, no matter whatâŚlife can change when you least expect. Most of all, be your extraordinary self, you are deeply loved, just as you are.
I love the message of this book! The author adopted a dog that needed a home, even though the dog had issues with her back legs. With a little bit of physical therapy, the dog learned to walk. It shows that people should be compassionate about animal adoption, and how rewarding it can be to take in a creature that just needs a little bit of love.
