The Whisper Chronicles reflect Renate Model's intimate familiar with and deep love for her Dachshund, Whisper. Renate's respect for all living things and keen perception of Whisper's soul and character allows her to reflect Whisper's thoughts and feelings with humor and warmth. We perceive the world anew through the eyes of this puppy and smile at her self-assurance, irreverence, and sometimes bewilderment as she makes sense of her home and family relationships. All those who enjoy the company of dogs, but especially Dachshund lovers, will enjoy Whisper's enchanting inner dialogue, enriched with the charming drawings by Laura Orefice.
