Product Description

Book Description

Tina and Chandi won the hearts of the nation with their fantastic dance routines on Britain’s Got Talent. Now, in this heart-warming memoir Tina shares their story. When Tina met Chandi she was a frightened, abandoned puppy in a local pound. Under Tina’s care she soon blossomed into an amazingly intuitive dog and together with Pepper, Tina’s first rescue dog, she gave Tina a reason to live after losing both her parents to cancer. Tina and Chandi developed a very special bond that allowed them to communicate at an extraordinary level and provided the magic element in their Freestyle dog dancing routines. They performed in front of thousands and went on to become Crufts champions and television stars. This is Tina and Chandi’s story of incredible love and devotion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written 25 Mar 2012
By AJB
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tina Humphrey has given us a beautifully written book about her, Pepper's and Chandi's story. This is not a shallow tale but a rich and true narrative. I was immediately absorbed and remained so throughout. I was laughing out loud as I read about Pepper frolicking on a nudist beach and in tears reading about Tina's mum's brave fight against cancer. I challenge anyone not to be heartened by the description of the bond between Tina, Chandi and Pepper and between Chandi and Pepper themselves. You will better understand the success Tina, Pepper and Chandi have achieved. This book will not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Fairytale! 23 Mar 2012
By Julie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful insight into Tina and Chandi's story. In a very self-effacing way, Tina tells how she rescued Chandi and took her to the dizzy heights of Crufts success and Britain's Got Talent fame. We learn about the heartaches and hurdles Tina had to overcome right from the start and are given many insights into the emotions and events behind their wonderful performances. We get to know Pepper, Tina's first 'dancing dog' and also read about Tina's early years and her loving friendship with her Mum. Tina Humphrey is without doubt a very talented and intelligent lady, yet she is entirely humble in her story telling as she urges you to live in the moment just as she has with her wonderful dogs. A treat of a read and long may they dance!

5.0 out of 5 stars A touching story of love and devotion 21 April 2012
Format:Paperback
I have never read such a touching story which clearly demonstrates how with love and devotion any dog can be turned from a frightened puppy into a sensational dog. Tina you have done both youself and chandi proud. This book will make you laugh and cry it is an absolute must read. Tina is an amazingly inspirational person and if only there where more Tinas' in the world then all abandoned dogs would be turned around and led into a life of amazing adventures !
