Meaningful Stories for Young Readers

A blind dog's misadventures

The Mutt Breed tells the touching story of Matt, an old and blind mixed-breed dog who is abandoned by the family he grew up with. Now living in a shelter, Matt struggles with fear, loneliness, and the possibility of being put down. Despite his blindness and age, he remains hopeful, remembering the love he once shared with his previous family. Proud to be a mutt, Matt believes he still has the ability to bring happiness to someone new. The story highlights themes of loyalty, aging, friendship, second chances, and the unique value of mixed-breed dogs.

No Treats in Dog Heaven

A Gentle Story About Love, Loss, and Letting Go

Told through the eyes of a devoted family dog, No Treats in Dog Heaven looks back on childhood, growing up together, and the quiet moments that define a lifetime of companionship. Set against the warmth of 1950s America, the story reflects on loyalty, faith, aging, and what pets might believe happens after life ends.

With soft illustrations and tender narration, the book offers comfort to children and adults alike—especially those who have loved and lost a pet. Rather than focusing on sadness, it reassures readers that love never disappears and that those we cherish remain at peace.
