Letter from 8-year old Meghan- She Loves Frankie and the Frankie Books!
There is nothing sweeter in this world then getting a handwritten letter from a child whose life I've affected... makes this little dog's heart wanna burst right out of my chest. So in the spirit of the holiday season and all things that matter I share the letter, along with a picture that Meghan drew of the cover of my second book, Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog Therapy Dog Visits Libby's House. Thank you, Meghan for making not only my day, but my mom's as well!!
