Call it fate or destiny or karma, but it was as if all the conniving gods and goddesses of India had spotted these two lonely Americans wandering through life and had decided to merrily fling us together, just to see what kind of sparks would fly. And just when our new lives together seemed far too sweet, those same conniving gods sent Zelda down to bite me on the bottom. Literally.
Associated Press correspondent Paul Chutkow and his wife were living in India when a scraggly stray mutt with a gentle soul and a frisky disposition charmed her way into their hearts. Zelda--a name she earned by being "a wild and crazy girl…with a devilish sense of humor"--quickly became a part of the family, moving with them to France, Italy, and California's Napa Valley. All along her unlikely odyssey, Zelda delighted new friends with her sweet and adventurous spirit, and taught her pal Paul the "beautiful lessons" he warmly shares in Zelda, Queen of Paris.
