A CHILDREN'S book about hope, transformation and second chances is set to be released by an author inspired by her rescue dog.
Trixie's Tail will be released on Thursday, May 14 by Stourbridge author Tracy Thomas.
It tells the true story of her dog Trixie, who was rescued from Birmingham Dogs Home after a traumatic start to life.
The book is narrated by Trixie and follows her journey from fear and mistrust to happiness and confidence through patience, kindness and love.
Ms Thomas said: "Although this is Trixie’s story, the message behind it is universal.
"Life can be difficult at times, but with love, support and courage, things really can get better.
"I wanted to create something uplifting that would make children smile while also encouraging them to believe in themselves."
Birmingham Dogs Home, the rescue centre that cared for Trixie, has contributed a foreword to the book.
The home praised the value of giving rescue animals a fresh start.
