Good Deed Done!
Good morning! I wanted to share a fun story that played itself out this weekend. I let my son have a three person sleepover. Anyone who has young boys knows this can be a very messy adventure and torturous adventure, but a lot of fun too. While the boys were outside exploring the woods, they found a beautiful Chocolate Labrador. Of course, since I have three dogs they called me from their ever-present cell phones. I went to see this dog. He was so happy to have found four boys. It made me think of the children's book I used to read to my son, "The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy." They gave him water and played ball with him. They enlisted the help of our neighbor and called the number on his tag. Through animal control, they eventually found the owner who was delighted to have his dog back. Turns out the owners don't live far and also have children who may come to play in the future. Off he went, and we said goodbye, with no mention of me being a writer. Next thing I know, that evening someone has purchased 5 of my books. The owner of the dog wanted to say thank you and said they love to read Fantasy/Science Fiction books. They bought five and promised to spread the word of by book "First Born." So the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished," does not apply here. And it goes to show, dog lovers are good people.
