Henry’s Tale by David Pipe
Henry
Ford, the cutest Border terrier puppy, lives with his papa Alan and
mama Jenny. Alan loves his job, playing golf and above all, Henry.
Jenny loves designer clothes, handbags and shoes. She doesn’t love
Henry. When Jenny insists on a week of high life on Majorca, Henry’s
world takes a nosedive.
An
attempted dognap and a traumatic stay in the veterinary clinic leave
Henry a sad and confused puppy. Desperately lonely he sets off on an
adventure with his friend Bully, a streetwise Essex bulldog, where he
meets the beautiful Paula and for the first time experiences the
heartbreak of puppy love.
Back
at home, his mama and papa’s marriage is on the rocks – will Alan
agree to Jenny’s ultimatum? Will he choose Jenny or Henry?

David
Pipe was born in 1949 in a small Essex village. He attended a local
grammar school then the University of Hull where he took a B.Sc in
chemistry. He worked in the pharmaceutical industry in England and
South Africa before studying for a PhD in organic chemistry at
Imperial College. After spells at universities in Geneva and Mulhouse
he joined the oil industry in Germany where, aged 53, he gratefully
took a redundancy package. Following a period of self-employment he
wound down his business, eventually giving it up to scratch the
writing itch which has produced Sacrificing
Starlight, a
timely reminder of the risks our children face and Henry's
Tale, where
ghostwriting for his furry friend he describes the emotional growth
of a puppy on the rollercoaster of life, compressed into a few weeks
because puppies learn faster than their staff.
When
he's not writing David spends his time travelling, reading, swimming
and jogging. He is married and lives in Hamburg with his wife and
their Border terrier Henry.
