Molly writes a tale about a special tail

BRIGHTON'S Molly Oliver Sasson has lived. Born in Britain, the 86-year-old was an intelligence officer with the Royal Air Force and worked for MI5. In Oz, she did an important job for ASIO that can't be divulged. Molly has many tales she can't tell but the one that she can involves a tail and her departed pooch Jessie. The cocker spaniel, whom she adored, cared for her ill and now-deceased husband Robert and is the subject of her book Four Paws and a Heart of Gold that's being launched at the Lost Dogs Home on November 30 by Dr Graeme Smith. Molly is now married to Albert, has another pooch, Brew, and is penning another book. She's well placed to create a tale of espionage about an intelligent dog who saves the day.
