What do Yoda, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, James Bond's Q, and Ciccina have in common? They are all mentors. Mentors train, motivate, plant ideas, bestow gifts, etc., and they appear when the student is ready. All these mentors did exactly that, but that is where the similarities end. Of all these mentors, Ciccina is the only one who isn't a fictional character. "The Little Dog That Could - When The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Appears" is the fantastically true story of a young man and a little dog, Ciccina, that came into his life as his mentor; to have him understand the world beyond his human senses and experience life, love and healing beyond his human understanding. Ciccina and the book are both small in size and are very unassuming, but they are packed with eventful surprises, inspiring lessons, comical moments, and heart tugging experiences that are bound to leave the reader delighted and changed by the end of the adventure.

‘Intelligently written, finely observed and surprisingly moving, this is a book you’ll find hard to put down’ Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project Companions come in all shapes and sizes. Companionship lasts forever. Lily and the Octopus is a novel about finding that special someone to share your life with. For Ted Flask, that someone is Lily, and she happens to be a dog. This novel reminds us how to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. Reminiscent of The Life of Pi and The Art of Racing in the Rain, with spins into magic realism and beautifully evoked universal truths of love, loyalty and loss, a hilariously sardonic and not altogether reliable narrator, and one unforgettable hound who simple wisdom will break your heart and put it back together again, Lily and the Octopus captures the search for meaning in death and introduces a dazzling new voice in fiction.

Pet adopters and owners, shelters and rescues, trainers, pet service providers--everyone wins with The Dog Who Couldn't Be Petted. A parent's response to The Dog Who Couldn't Be Petted: My husband just read a prepublication copy of The Dog Who Couldn't Be Petted to our 5 year old; it was the FIRST time she has sat all the way through a book of this length. When he finished, she said, 'Read it again!' She loves it. I asked her 'Is this the book you want?' and she yelled "YES!!!!" Then she had him read it again, this time to her dolls so they can learn too. When I tried to interrupt her, my daughter exclaimed, "No! My dolls are ready to learn some doggy stuff!" This book is so necessary. It is one of my favorite new kids' books."
