Betty Dog's Special Gifts

A cruel backyard breeder of Dalmatians tore the young puppy away from her mother and litter mates when he saw that she had one brown eye and one blue one, and she was born deaf. To him, she was like trash because she wasn't perfect. He didn't know that her deafness hid a special gift...the ability to think and understand life like humans do-only better! The first in the Betty Dog Series, Betty Dog's Special Gifts takes us into the world of animal rescue, dog ownership, bullying, special needs kids, and the values that grow from these experiences. Betty Dog, also known simply as "BD," inspires readers to listen to their hearts, follow their instincts, and find the truth that is within all of us. Beautifully illustrated by Amy Koch Johnson, this book opens the door to a social movement that has already begun. Parents and educators want their children to embrace goodness, kindness, and acceptance. Children want to know a way out of bullying and violence in their schools. They need their society and culture to support them. We can help pave the way and shine a light on that path.
