What the Media is Saying

“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.”
Katenna Jones, Humane Educator - American Humane

"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

“No one who reads this sweet story of Christmas magic will have a dry eye. The book has the deceptive simplicity of “The Little Prince” – a kind of fairy tale for grown-ups and older children. Old Dog will bring magic back to the holiday of any animal lover.”
Deborah Wood, The Oregonian
