Legacy Village, Lyndhurst
 
 Dick Houston, safari leader, conservationist, writer and teacher will speak, answer questions and autograph his new book "Bulu African Wonder Dog."
 
Will leave fans of dog stories begging for more -  Appropriate for all ages
 
He was small, quiet, different…the last of a litter of Jack Russell Terrier-Mix pups to find a home; but he found his forever home, with Steve and Anna Tolan in the African bush in Zambia and no person or creature he came in contact with was ever the same.
 
Named Bulu, the Nyanja word for wild dog, he quickly adapted to his environment where he entertained with his antics, frightened with his daring encounters with lions, elephants, warthogs and cobras, and comforted troubled and injured animals with his nurturing spirit.
 
Houston weaves the adventure, danger and romance of wild Africa with a heartwarming, true story of how the runt of the litter grew into an incredibly fierce protector of orphaned wildlife as Bulu’s adoptive family from England built a life and a wildlife education center for Zambian children in the middle of the untamed African bush.  Mixed into this incredible story of a dog’s life is an authentic portrayal of Zambia in the 21st century, the beauty and grace of its wildlife along with the gut-wrenching reality of survival in the bush, and an important conservation message.  A must-read for all ages!

 
“Bulu: African Wonder Dog is an 
 absolutely amazing true story about
 a ‘dog’s life’ in Africa!”
