Sylvia FitzSimons

Facebook  Twitter  Website


Originally from London, England, Sylvia FitzSimons has lived most of her life in southern Spain. She qualified in canine psychology in 2004, has completed several courses in wolf behaviour and is a practising dog psychologist. Especially drawn to the needs and plight of strays, abandoned and rescued dogs, she is in close contact with animal rescue centres throughout Spain. Her first two books, “Why’re You Put Together All Wrong Like That…?” and “Run, Wrexsome… Run!” are humorous parodies based on true (albeit wildly exaggerated) incidences of dog behaviour and psychology. The third, due to be published in 2016, will be her first book not written as farce. It is the fictional story of the first wolf that ever befriended humankind – the predecessor of what nowadays are our pet dogs.
