"I hope that parents and children will take away a love of animals from this book. To realize that the shy and timid pets at shelters and rescues just need some patience and love and TLC to become loving members of their family."

& Owner/Photographer of Visions Photography

I'm so excited to announce the publication of Little Miss Suri's children's book (or for any age Husky lover)! As many of you know already, I'm a career writer, photojournalist, and editor. I've had the privilege of editing Carl D. Bromberg's new book all about his beautiful rescue puppy, Siberian Husky, Suri! Many of you already follow Little Miss Suri on Facebook and know that when Carl adopted Suri's mother—Jesse—she was scheduled to be spayed when SURPRISE!, they discovered she was carrying a puppy! Jesse was carrying just one puppy—and Carl welcomed surprise baby Suri to his Siberian Husky family that already included Suri's momma, her Daddy Titan, and Uncle Caleb!

When the Puppy Bowl X aired, my FiveSibes and I eagerly watched! There was a lot of whooping (me) and wooing (my pups) and a whole lot of fun and snacks and even tossing around a fuzzy football dog toy!

"The most important thing is to adopt and to not shop for pets for their family! There are SO many loving pets in shelters and rescues just waiting for a chance at a loving forever home!"  

~Carl D. Bromberg, Author

 

 

A little about Suri's hu-dad and author Carl D. Bromberg. Carl is the owner of Visions Photography in Cedar Rapids, IA. He specializes in Pet Photography, Family Photography, and Senior Photography in Eastern Iowa since 1998. 

 

What really sets Carl's photography work apart from others is that he prides himself on "capturing you or your pets personalities!" He also strives to "Capture emotions or tell a story! Your Story! You and your furbabies deserve something special!"

Carl also says he will "always" donate 10% of Visions Photography's profits to Animal Rescue!!!

And his rescue work doesn't stop there. He himself for years has been a multi-dog caregiver of rescued dogs he adopted, including, Suri and her mother Jesse! 

In addition, Carl volunteers to help rescues by photographing their dogs who are looking for forever loving homes!

 

I really enjoyed working with Carl on this book and I chatted with him after the final draft was approved and published through Amazon's Kindle Publishing about it how it felt to have Suri's story published. 

 

DOROTHY/FIVESIBESMOM (D/FSM): What does it mean to have your book published? I know it's geared for children, but honestly, it's a great easy read for parents, grandparents, and even teachers to read to children together.

 

CARL D. BROMBERG (CDB): "It means so much to me to have this book done!," he exclaimed. "To be able to get her story out to the public. Her parents were so afraid of everything, then to have this miracle of a puppy born as a total surprise! A kind of lasting gift from her mother Jesse for helping them become dogs again!"

 

D/FSM: What do you hope folks—children and adults—will learn about and take away from Suri's story?

CDB: "I hope that parents and children will take away a love of animals from this book. To realize that the shy and timid pets at shelters and rescues just need some patience and love and TLC to become loving members of their family. To give those pets a chance at love and that when they do, those pets will be so eternally grateful to finally have a chance to be loved as a dear family member!"

D/FSM: What do you think is the most important message to get there about dogs who are in rescues and shelters, waiting for homes of their own? 

 

CDB: "The most important thing is to adopt and to not shop for pets for their family! There are SO many loving pets in shelters and rescues just waiting for a chance at a loving forever home!"
