“The Shelter Dog is a wonderful story that will benefit many, and perhaps encourage giving ‘less than perfect’ shelter animals a chance. The illustrations were breathtaking and you captured his emotions so perfectly. As a former shelter worker I could truly relate to Hero and as a current Humane Educator I appreciate the value in his story. I saw many dogs just like him and I applaud you for creating this book to share with others.”

“The Shelter Dog book brought me to tears. It is a beautiful and touching book and is my dream for all of our animals.”

~Taylor Slemmer, Humane Educator, Young-Williams Animal Center

“This book proves that every dog has a perfect human somewhere, and when they find each other it is the most joyous moment imaginable. Davis illustrates her book with magical, whimsical drawings that bring the reader right to the heart of the story. This is a true-to-life fairy story for adults and older children. The Shelter Dog is a terrific gift for any animal lover, especially anyone who has adopted a dog or who loves an older dog.”

~Deborah Wood, The Oregonian

“I was so moved by The Shelter Dog book (you must have stock in a tissue company!) My first dog, Mandy, was a shelter dog and our relationship spawned my passion for rescue work. I see her eyes in so many dogs I rescue (I’m sure you’ve heard that from others and know what I mean yourself) that tears poured out when I pictured myself as the old woman in the story. Your books touch the inner heart…thanks for writing them!!!”
