Esther Elias was the long-time editor of the monthly magazine of a large steel mill in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. She received Glindy as a retirement gift from her cousin in Wales, a Corgi breeder. This book is a tribute to the great love she had for her dog and their many memorable experiences. A rare signed copy of a story that will resonate with many dog owners.
