Well, somebody better get Mommy a tissue because I’ve got some pretty exciting news!
Awesome Adventures with Cadie the Rescue Dog, the very first book in our series, has won a Gold Booky Award for Best Tug-at-the-Heart! 💖
Now, I know a thing or two about tugging. Tug toys, tugging on Mommy’s heartstrings, and occasionally tugging her in the direction of something that smells interesting. But winning an award for it? That’s a new one!
This award is especially meaningful because Awesome Adventures is where our story began.
Hard to believe that I went from a Texas shelter to being adopted by a Mommy and Daddy who love me, a home filled with sisters, and my very own children’s book series!
It was awesome that the judges recognized the warmth, humor, and heartfelt messages in our first book, including the importance of kindness, rescue, and giving animals a chance to be loved.
Of course, none of our adventures would come alive without Mommy’s words and the wonderful hand-drawn illustrations by Chris Schwink.
Mommy says she’s incredibly proud of this award. And me? I’m pretty proud of how far we’ve come.
From a Texas shelter to award-winning children’s books. Not bad for a girl with four paws and a whole lot of stories to tell!
Now, about that award-winning treat I think I’ve earned…
