Fact in Fiction: Solving the Mystery of EPI

by Tracy Weber



Bella, the German Shepherd hero in my
Downward Dog Mystery series, is very special dog. Like most heroes, Bella is brave,
loyal, and willing to make great sacrifices to protect those she loves. But her
heroism isn’t the only thing that makes Bella special. Like my own German shepherd
Tasha, she lives with an autoimmune disease called Exocrine
Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI).
