Cedric – Footprints in the Sand is an epoch dog tale. Inspired by the true
story of a shipwrecked Newfoundland dog who wandered into a small
coastal village. Finding his way to the end of a pier, he would spend the
remainder of his years rescuing twenty-three people from other
shipwrecks.
During the Victorian Era, the great English painter, Sir Edwin Landseer
did a portrayal of the dog with the sea and gulls behind him. However,
it was painted thirty years after the dog had died and there is little known
about his remarkable creature. With a spark of creative industry, Barry
Stebbing began filling in many of the blanks in this masterful tale of
historical fiction believing it is a true classic in the making.
Cedric is a delightful read for all ages. Written with a touch of prose, it
allows the reader’s imagination to wander into a wonderful era. Along
with following Cedric as he fights his way through tumultuous seas to
rescue shipwrecked souls, the reader follows the life of a young aspiring
artist and that of many other intriguing Dickens-like characters and
travels through various chapters with soft flow of faith and romance.
Though animal stories invariably have a way of touching the heart of
man, the author’s main purpose is to bring the reader to a sublime place,
above the mundane cares of the world, and ponder upon things that are
good, and pure, and uplifting, long after the final page is read.
