Childrens Pet

Dixie and her dog-mama's search for friends begins with walks through town, at the beach, and in the neighborhood. In the beginning, Dixie explores the world around her in search of real-life friends, but only finds squirrels, bugs, deer, and even a blue plastic horse that Dixie suspects is real! One day, while Dixie and her dog Mama are on a long walk through the neighborhood, they meet a whole bunch of rescue dogs! Dixie is introduced to Jack, the one-eyed pitbull, Evil Evie, the temperamental Shih Tzu, Jarvis, the Mexican hairless dog, and Brinkley, the unofficial neighborhood mayor.

With dogs, you get back what you put in, just as you do with your human relationships. Dogs, however, show more ability to forgive the cruelty and indiscretion of ignorant people - well, at least that's what I have observed. As the old saying goes, no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner, and this I believe, with all my heart. All my dogs have been rescue dogs taken from lives of abandonment and often cruelty. With patience, love, and stability, all of my dogs have shown loyalty and love way beyond any human should deserve.

This book is a collection of 10 short stories from my book Dog Tales - 60 True Doggy Stories of Loyalty, Heroism and Devotion. The stories in this series of books will hopefully make you laugh, cry, and be proud to be a dog owner.
