Description: Muffin was a rescue dog, an ordinary mongrel who joined the Bardsley family in Leeds in 1999. She was three years old and had been badly neglected, undernourished and contained in a high-rise flat for whole of her young life. The family she came into was also under pressure, as the writer's husband Tim was in the middle of a long struggle with cancer and had been told that his illness was terminal. Never having previously shown interest in animals, Tim bonded almost instantly with chaotic little Muffin. With Muffin reaching the end of her days, author Barney Bardsley looks back over the eventful years they have shared, to remember the joy and laughter that this loving, soulful creature brought to her family.
