Labradoodle Children's Book GIVEAWAY!

[Adina P]

A couple weeks ago, a publisher contacted me about a copy of a darling children's book about a labradoodle named Mogie who "works" for a Ronald McDonald House, helping kids get their "mojo" back.  The book is intended for children 4-8 years old and since I have one of those in my house, I thought it would be perfect.  My copy arrived yesterday.

And for this important photo opp, Rosco even got some couch time ;)


It really is a sweet story and illustrates, Mogie, a natural therapy dog, doing what he does best with several children who needed uplifting.  Although Mogie's breed is not mentioned in the book, it is based on a real Mogie who happens to be an Australian labradoodle and really works for a Ronald McDonald House.

Just a post-script.  I ordered the book for Finney's Kids and we gave it to them for their library on Thursday.  The teacher wore his Ronald McDonald socks (ha!) One of the little girls read it to the class.  One little girl who can't speak gave it 3 thumbs up during the reading.  Smiles all around.  It was a big hit!  Adina, thanks so much for sharing this book with us!  Loved all the stories, here :)
