More about Noble Friends... Her father's death and a tragic accident which ended her equestrian career led Pam to seeking her fortune in America. With $100 in her pocket and a fire-engine red MG, she began her exploration and lifelong love affair with the "colonies." The first American encounter of importance was Rocky, her famous German Shepherd. The team of Rocky and Pam were instrumental in pioneering the concept of pet therapy for the old and the young alike. Thanks to Rocky, Pam was able to establish her nationally known Fursman Kennels, Ltd. in Middleburg, Virginia. Enter Spotty, a saucy little Jack Russell who tried Rocky's patience but proved to be his gentle friend in later years. Chip, the canine journalist, offers us an insider's view of life in the kennels, complete with hilarious descriptions of those strange creatures called humans. Noble Friends is not just a book about animals, nor is it merely a training manual; it is a story of friendship, hard work, dedication and love. In Pam's words, "All of God's children are capable of being noble friends, all we have to do is try." Rocky received many fan letters. Below are excerpts from just a few: "Both Rocky and his trainer will leave you with a feeling that you have been entertained by masters." The late Harold Runnels, M.C., New Mexico "Many letters arrive in children's lopsided handwriting, addressed simply to 'Rocky, Middleburg, Virginia.'" Fauquier Democrat "Rocky clearly demonstrates he is a genius in the animal field." Piedmont Virginian "Pam, I don't believe you realize how really thrilled the children were with Rocky's tremendous performance. He was an inspiration for well written stories." Bailey's Elementary School, Falls Church, Virginia "I believe that no one can match your work... Coco, my Cocker Spaniel, has never before looked as handsome since you have taken over." The late Jack Kent Cooke, former owner, Washington Redskins Ninety-seven percent of the photographs throughout the book, most in full-color, were taken by Pamela Dickson.
