Anita Allen interview 28 October 2021

Book Talk with Claire Harris

I'm talking to author Anita Allen on Book Talk Radio Club. Anita was born in what was called Rhodesia and is now Zimbabwe. At the age of thirty-two Anita moved to the UK. Unfortunately, she got involved in what can only be described as a tumultuous relationship with entirely the wrong man that lasted fourteen years. Anita says "I walked into that relationship a confident young woman and came out the other side an emotional wreck." Her life finally changed when she rescued an Aussie Shepherd puppy who she named Finley. Caring for that sick, fragile and scared puppy brought her to her senses. She never realised what an incredible bond you can build with a dog. She says Finley, saved her soul and she owes him a deep debt of gratitude. Anita’s book 5 Minutes: An Autobiography of a Dog Named Finley is the story of Finley’s life and how he came to be rescued by Anita and is written as Finley telling the story.
