A Boy and His Dog Inspired A Book

In This Podcast…

Julie Duncan always wanted to write a children’s book. In fact, she planned and plotted many books throughout the years. What finally led to her first publication? Her son and his dog Ike.

It took her son’s persistence and hard work to finally bring Ike, a beautiful Bichon Frise and Poodle mix into the Duncan household. The bond that Julie’s son Stephen and Ike share inspired the book.

The most important thing that Julie wants kids to come away with after reading the book is the importance of taking care of one’s pet.

However, this early reader teaches more than just responsibility for our furry family members. The book teaches the difference between verbs and adverbs. For the reluctant reader, there’s the addition of finding the hidden dog treat on each page to keep the child moving forward and enjoying the book.

The book is currently available on Amazon.

Meanwhile, Julie has signed a copy of the book for a giveaway to one of our lucky Little Pampered Dogs and their humans. Hurry! The giveaway ends soon. There’s no cost to enter and your chances are excellent!
