Biography

Although certainly not a “dog whisperer,” Teresa Adamo nevertheless talks to her adopted terri-doodle. Over the years, these chats often included lighthearted theories about Indy’s life before reaching her “forever home” in Bakersfield, California.

As a former newspaper reporter and editor, Teresa longed to write the story of Indy’s origins in the form of a children’s book. What resulted is an ode to the sweet shelter dog as well as a tribute to Bakersfield itself.

The author and her husband, Felix, live in the city’s Westchester neighborhood and have four sons: Cody, Hunter, Zane and Cooper. Their backyard is also home to the lowest maintenance pet ever – Tele, a tortoise. Indy joined the pack in 2008.
