FICTION OR NONFICTION ISBN 9780473182342; this a5 sized soft covered book written, then totally and solely produced by myself (Bob Simmonds) and in a attempt to answer some of the questions the CREATOR left me with contains 244 pages, with 96,721 words or thereabout, with numerous illustrations and is the impression I have been left with after having lived in New Zealand for 75 years. While this book was conceived some time ago now, and at the time was deemed to be pure fiction by many I know there can be no doubt that it was the foundation of where we are now and where we are heading at a ever increasing speed. While the indoctrinated majority know no other, to the unindoctrinated minority the place has undeniably gone downhill, or to HELL in a handcart since the mid seventies. Because I have spent most of my life in the company of working dogs, I thought it was only fair to let one of them have his say, and as Patch was my last heading dog, we have colluded in the writing of this book with a little help from my last huntaway and Patches old mate Bounce. (This book can be downloaded via my web sites in PDF as an e-book.)
