Underdog with a Heart of Gold Leaves Lasting Legacy

r the age of eight and in 2012, nineteen children were killed by dogs. These statistics are tragic and often very preventable. Please Don't Bite the Baby will be a memoir with training techniques to help families keep their children safe from their dogs and their dogs safe from their babies. My hope is that more families will see that they can keep their kids safe and the dogs they love with the family the dog loves because every shelter and/or rescue worker knows that too many dogs are relinquished every day because they didn't behave well around a new baby or even older kids.

My life with dogs like Boo, Atticus, Dante, Porthos and Pinball has taught me that it is good to have dogs in our lives--they bring us not only joy and laughter, but they are, for so many of us, emotional rocks and emotional sponges that soak up the daily struggles we all face. If Please Don't Bite the Baby helps keep more dogs in their homes so more kids can grow up with a dog of their own, then all the dogs I have had and worked with will have made their mark, too.

For our home, another dog will have to find us. Pinball is lonely without Boo and Porthos. The loss of both these beloved dogs has been hard on all of us. We are keeping an eye out for the next canine installment.

Joan: As am I, Lisa. I'm so glad that you and Boo rescued one another and both of you went on to accomplish great things. And that you wrote about it. I loved A Dog Named Boo and I can't wait to read your next book. It can fill a critical niche for dog lovers who have small children and want to enjoy the best of both worlds. Thanks so much for talking with me. It's been a complete pleasure!
