Dumped, Dazed & Dazzled

Publisher Marketing: Dumped, Dazed & Dazzled, is a fictional account of a true story told by Sage, a lovable, strong-minded, Husky-Shepherd dog. Dumped in Riverside, California's Fairmount Park, Sage finds friendship, misses going to the Dog Pound by the length of his nose, and stumbles into a diverse, multi-cultural neighborhood where he is adopted by his new family, MJ and her daughter Meg. Sage paws his way through self-doubt and fear to discover himself and his purpose in life. When he learns that Meg needs his help as an alert dog, Sage chooses a life of service and assistance. And he becomes a therapy and read-to-me dog. But Sage bites his lip anxiously. Will trouble nip at his heels? Or will he be able to exercise the dogged determination needed to reach beyond his wildest dreams and become a hero? Join Sage as his adventures continue in his series, The Adventures of Sage, the Super Service Dog. For readers from 4th grade and up. "Loved it! I was very touched by Sage's story...an exciting, information packed, heartfelt adventure. It is a story about compassion and determination; how love grows. People pull together to help. I enjoyed Sage's voice: alternately eager, resigned, filled with wonder and then worldly wise. The inclusion of different languages is a plus...the characters make the story. Looking forward to more." -Judith Auth, retired Director, Riverside Public Library, Riverside, CA
