BLUE GENES
Les Lacey
BLUE GENES...
The story of Josh, a
remarkable Staffordshire Bull Terrier seen by
many as having special qualities distinguishing him from others. He was adored
by dog lovers at shows and attracted many glowing compliments... as well as
astronomical offers for him.
The attribute making him different from all but a handful of dogs
was his colour, known in the breed as blue, but in truth a deep slate grey.
BLUE -
THE COLOUR OF CUPID’S DART
Blue was not the colour for many breeders and judges who shunned
Josh in shows, often without reason. But
josh continued to turn heads wherever he went, and broke hearts throughout the
world.
BLUE GENES charts Josh’s life from him becoming part of a
family in Walsall in the West Midlands, through his show career, the illness
that proved difficult to diagnose, and the almost star treatment he received,
with him appearing on a calendar, in a video, in a book, and as a model for a
porcelain figure.
BLUE GENES is a story of loyalty, and commitment and of jealousy
and prejudice. Above all however it is a story of a family’s love for the pet
they’ve chosen to care for, demonstrating that animals, as well as people can
be inspirational. As such BLUE GENES
is a story for pet owner and non pet owners alike.
