“Scooter Strays” is dedicated to my wonderful dog, Scooter, with whom I’ve learned so much on our many enjoyable adventures.

The story is about an inquisitive dog who sets out on his own. It is quite common for a dog to wander away from home. This book will help instill in children the need to be responsible guardians for their companion animals, while at the same time offering an interactive way to decide what adventure Scooter will take next.

“Scooter Strays” was originally an interactive story on the Washington Humane Society’s Kid’s website. All profit from the sale of this book will be donated to the Washington Humane Society (WHS) in Washington, DC. Founded in 1870, the Washington Humane Society is a wonderful organization that takes care of over 15,000 animals every year. WHS offers many programs such as adoptions, humane education, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, and humane law enforcement.

"This is a wonderfully interactive saga about a lost dog that will help children develop their empathy and understanding of fellow creatures whose well-being is everyone's duty in a civilized society."
