Page 4 - How Sophie Grumble Guts Got Her Name

Introduction

Let me introduce you to the Hope Springs Gang.

The Hope Springs Gang (often referred to as just “The

Gang”) are a bunch of small fluffy dogs who live on a little

farm in a beautiful place with their family – the Dogmother

and the Dogfather.

The Gang have all been adopted when for various reasons,

they needed to find a new home.

This series of books chronicles their adventures and
escapades.

Sophie Jane is the oldest member of the Hope Springs Gang

at 17 - that’s about 85 in human years.

Sophie likes sleeping (a lot), being picked up and telling all

the other dogs off! In fact, one of Sophie’s nicknames is

Grumble because she often grumbles at the other dogs (and

the Dogparents).
