Incredible Kratu by Tess Swan

Incredible Kratu by Tess Swan

From the streets of Romania, to the show ring at Crufts, Incredible Kratu is themoving story of a lovable street dog who healed a broken, autistic woman, andhow, together, they continue to bring joy to everyone they meet.

Kratu is such a big personality it's quite amazing he can fit inside a bookIt's also hard to believe he was ever small and vulnerable, but Tess saved him and he saves her, too. However, neither could be relied on to blindly follow pointless rules. When Kratu went rogue in the big ring at Crufts he showed the world that different is often very much better. This is a book for anyone who has ever thought they didn't quite fit in -- Beverley Cuddy * Dogs Today Magazine *
An uplifting and inspirational story about how one life-changing bond saved two souls. Perfect for dog-lovers and those on their healing journey * Happiful mag *
Laugh... cry... learn. An astonishing book: by turns emotional, funny, eye-opening. A moving story of how two souls that knew so much suffering found each other and became a force for good. Very thought provoking and ultimately uplifting, not just for dog lovers but for anyone with a heart. It's a five star book in all possible ways -- Ann Green, Chief reporter * Psychic News Magazine *
You won't want to miss Incredible Kratu, Tess Eagle Swan's book about her fascinating journey with this very special dog. I love how she has honoured who he is as an individual, delights in his entertaining assertions of his own personality, and gives him agency whenever possible. As if the story isn't compelling enough, the excellent writing keeps the reader turning the pages. Anyone who loves dogs will love this book. Highly recommended. -- Risë VanFleet, PhD, CDBC Author, The Human Half of Dog Training

Tess Eagle Swan was raised in a small Hertfordshire village. Tess found her life full of challenges but, overcoming much adversity, she eventually found the inner strength to leave her chaotic London lifestyle and go to Peru, where, after learning about the ancient healing cultures, she set out on a path which would lead her to Kratu.

Tess had always struggled with communication but it wasn't until she was fifty-four that, with Kratu by her side, she was formally diagnosed with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). For the past nine years, Tess has devoted her life to training Kratu, and her other dogs whilst also raising awareness of animal welfare issues and autism-related causes. She supports the cross-parliamentary group APDAWG and is now a dedicated dog welfare advocate and rescue dog ambassador. Her and Kratu are also ambassadors for Anna Kennedy Online, an autism charity. Kratu, now formally her Assistance Dog, did therapy work at the local primary school but is now retired.
