More About the Author

I write about puppies because I love dogs. Dogs are always happy to see you, and always excited about what's going to happen next whether it's a ride in the car, a game, or just cuddling up on the couch. Dogs are also great for telling secrets to, and for comforting you when you're sad.
I live in Vermont, an incredibly beautiful state, and I spend time outdoors every day: I love to swim in clear, cold ponds, bike on shady back roads, hike tall mountains - and ski down them!

This review is from: Patches (The Puppy Place, No. 8) (Paperback)

This is a book about a dog named Patches that was tied up in a garage and he did not get that much attention. He would houl and cry for more and more love. Then Charles would watch him and play with him then after a while someone came out of the house and he asked why he was there and he agreed that Patches he did not give Patches enough attention and he was going to sell him. Who did he sell him to?

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Patches (The Puppy Place, No. 8) (Paperback)

The reason I wrote that title is because I'm the one who (12 going on 13) wrote the other ones on the other books about me and my family fostering. Patches was never fostered by the peterson family though. In fact, only Lizzy and Charles ever saw him!

Patches is an adorable little beagle puppy that Charles finds tied up in a garage. But, he can't save the puppy! someone owns him, but they are not giving him the attention he deserves and needs. What will Charles do to save this litle puppy from a lifetime of boredom?

Why would anybody leave this adorable Beagle puppy tied up alone in a garage? Find out by buying this book!

You will not be dissapointed. I like this book a lot. But if you are going to get this book, you may as well get the whole series. They are great. You will fall in love with each puppy as you meet it.

We read these together at night, before bedtime. I'm not sure who likes the stories more - my daughter or me!
