Walking with Prada: Our Journey of Love and Adventure chronicles the true life events of a dog mom and her special relationship with her soul dog. Silvia’s life changed when she received one of her neighbor’s adorable golden retriever puppies. She named the unforgettable puppy, Prada. Little did Silvia know that Prada would bring purpose and passion into her already busy life of work and family. She started to share Prada’s life and puppies in a Facebook group called Prada’s Bunch and Friends, which garnered many fans. Silvia was inspired to train Prada and her two offspring, Charlie Brown and Lalique, as therapy dogs to further her journey of love. Silvia dedicated her free time to volunteering countless hours at libraries, nursing homes, hospitals, and other events to spread the healing power of dogs.
Author Silvia Mesa is an amazing storyteller. I was touched right away when she shared her early life in Venezuela and the pets that shaped her love for animals. I was engaged throughout the whole book, especially with the pictures, which made me fall in love with Prada and her pups even more. Walking with Prada is an inspirational and feel-good book, and we need more of these in this world. Silvia teaches by example what it is to be a light in this dark world with her dedication to her volunteer work with her dogs. I highly recommend this book to anyone if you want your heart touched and your mood elevated to a happy place. Bravo on an excellent read!
