NEW RELEASE

The Strange New Dog

The Allen family loves their many pets, and they’re excited to adopt just one more—Henry, the bull-terrier. But why are dangerous men after him? He’s not telling, and the other pets must find out before someone in the family gets hurt:

  • Why is Henry angry about being adopted?
  • Can a dachshund actually concentrate for more than two minutes?
  • What do Henry’s stalkers really want?
  • Can a cat’s natural stubbornness foil a dastardly scheme of kidnapping and robbery?

Read along to find out!

“I loved this story and my kids did too. Witmer has a knack for sweet, adventurous storytelling that any kid would enjoy. If you love animals, you’ll especially love this exciting tale!”

Winter views.
Another weekend, another snowfall, another afternoon hike.
I’m spending some time brainstorming and outlining again.
Another hike; good for body and soul. The weather really does turn on a dime this time of year.
