The Pookie

What’s to stop me trying? Surely it’s up to me to make things happen? What can I do to give abandoned dogs a better chance in life? How can I discover my real potential?

These are just some of the questions Pookie asks herself on her quest to live life to the full and to help others.

Fearless, compassionate and deeply sincere, she throws herself into the challenges that life offers.

With the help of the amazing friends she makes along the way, she learns the wonder of working with others to turn her ideas into reality.

After an early childhood in the UK and Cyprus, Belinda Garrett moved with her family to her grandfather’s ranch in NSW, Australia. She then moved to Paris. After graduating from university, she eventually settled in Piedmont, Italy, where she lived with her American husband and their two rescue dogs, Missy and Bogey. They founded a successful marketing and communication skills company for C-suite executives and became very involved with the Italian wine industry. In 2011, Belinda moved to south-west France, where she now lives.
