Grant's brief bio: After a decade of writing biographies of extraordinary but unsung women active in the arts, diplomacy and politics, Grant Hayter-Menzies turned to writing about the lives of extraordinary but unsung animals: Rags, mascot and dispatch dog of the American First Division in WWI France; the thousands of elderly, neglected former war horses abandoned in Egypt by British forces at the termination of WWI and saved by Englishwoman Dorothy Brooke; Woo, the Javanese monkey companion of Canadian artist and writer Emily Carr; and Muggins, fundraising dog of WWI Victoria, BC. His memoir of his rescue dog, Freddie (ca 2009-2021), who inspired him to write about animals, has recently been published in Canada. Grant is literary executor of playwright William Luce (1931-2019), the award-winning author of Broadway classic The Belle of Amherst. Grant lives in Sidney, British Columbia, with his partner Rudi and rescue dog Niko. Learn more at https://grantmenzies.wixsite.com/author.
