my book Buddy, the Christmas Husky~A True Holiday MiracleHe loves to "Roo-Roo" and loves his friends on social media! He has his own Facebook page,  he's on Twitter (look for
@ChristmasHusky1) and he's quite the handsome boy! But it wasn't always so bright for this rescued Husky. The story follows his journey, one that will leave you cry, and laugh, and hopefully vow to help an animal in need.

"An injured, starving, and homeless Siberian Husky is rescued by a Good Samaritan one snowy Christmas Day. Through a network of caring people across thousands of miles, the Husky, who becomes known as “Buddy, the Christmas Husky,” discovers that not all humans are mean and uncaring. His long journey brings him to find compassion, friendship, and a loving mom to call his own." ~From Buddy, the Christmas Husky~A True Holiday Miracle

The book also contains a centerfold section featuring photographs of Buddy's journey from being an abused and abandoned dog on the streets, to being rescued, and then ever homeless dog's dream...finding a loving foster mom of his own, Mama Shay! 
 A portion of proceeds from the books will be donated to "Buddy's Buddies" through the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine to help with Buddy's medical expenses. (When he was found, he had, among other things, mange, buckshot in his skin, and was diagnosed with lymphoma When paid, Mama Shay will use the money to help other dog in need.
 
 It took a community to save a Husky. A community known as "Team Buddy" and some of the members have never met, except through their love of animals and social media!
