I have grown up having a dog my entire life and have always wished that I could help the dogs who don’t get to have loving families like they deserve. I chose to focus my love of animals towards a children’s book about two dogs that are showcased side by side—one side being a dog who gets the life they deserve, while the other one has had a tough life and limited time left.Â
This children’s story is about two dogs, one named Finn and the other named Buddy. Finn is a therapy dog that goes to hospitals with his owner, Rachel, to help patients. While he has the best life he could think of, he still wants a brother. Buddy is a dog that has been abused his whole life and just recently ended up in a high kill shelter with only a week left until he is euthanized. Buddy wishes for a family that will save him. The book shows the two dogs side by side with a countdown showcasing the week left. Will Buddy get saved in time? Will Finn end up with the brother he so desperately wants?
This book developmentally fits children 10-14, but it appeals to all ages. This children’s book is loosely based on my real life, as Finn is the name of my current dog and Rachel is the name that my father originally picked out for me. With this in mind, I felt that I could add another layer of personality to my book. This book is currently available on Amazon and 10% of the proceeds I make on this book goes towards the ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty, which helps with the prevention of animal abuse and advocates for more humane laws.
