Jellybean: The Pawtobiography of a Wire Fox Terrier

by Eva Patton, Gil Balbuena Jr. (Illustrator)

Overview

Long ago, Dogma told me and my littermates there comes a time when every puppy must have his very own family. Dogs are loved by people for many reasons, and it is one of the most wonderful things in the entire world when a human pack or family comes to our kennel to find some of its happiness. A puppy is very lucky to be matched up with his own person or family who will love him forever. With these thoughts, I prayed to Saint Bernard for my very own family. Eventually, they came, and in the fourteen-plus years I shared with them, my life had both wonderful and miserable times. The hardest thing was learning right and wrong. Fortunately, Angelo Wingsandhalo was there to help, and what he said made sense. His archrival, Lucifer Hornsandtail, however, said things that were too good to be ignored. If I could remember, did I do what was good, or did I have a good time? I am Jellybean. This is my story. Not a word of this is untrue.

About the Author

At ten years of age, Eva Patton got her first wire fox terrier, Buzzy, a much-loved pet. Many years later, Jellybean entered her life, and together, they had a good amount of success participating in the American Kennel Club’s activities of dog shows and obedience trials. Jelly also did a good deal of ad and commercial work. Later, agility was an additional dog-and-owner sport performed with an Irish terrier, Tootsie Rose, and another wire fox, Buddy. Both of these dogs competed extremely well. Eva enjoys dogs still, but at a more leisurely pace. Other interests include gardening, writing, and singing Italian arias. She and her husband, David, have traveled from Tasmania to Alaska and greatly enjoy visiting the United Kingdom at least once every year. At home now in South Carolina, the Pattons have two Australian shepherds (go figure) and Harry, an Irish terrier.
