About the book

Charlie was different. True he was a Black and White Border Collie, as were his brothers and sister. However, there were two marked differences. One ear stood up whereas the other lay flat against his head.

Secondly, he had eyes of different colours. One was blue, the other looked almost like amber. Now what do myths and legends say about people and animals born with eyes of different colours?

Why – that they are able to see earth and heaven at the same time.

 Let’s take a look at Charlie’s  birth , when he was given two special gifts. One  was an amazing ability to smell things. As to the other,  wait and see.  We’ll also have a glimpse of sone of his exploits. 

 From a young age it was clear to see that Charlie had no interest whatsoever in herding sheep. He was the despair of his parents both of whom were first class working dogs. Neither could really understand why Charlie was so different, though his mother had an inkling. She felt he was destined for great things – but only time would tell.
