About the Book
The story of Trudy, a miscolored Saint Bernard puppy who wanted to be adopted. Though a pedigree and registered with the American Kennel Club, Trudy's markings were not 'standard' for her breed. Adopted as a pet instead of a show dog, Trudy lived happily for 13 years as the McKenzie family pet. Illustrated by a legally blind artist Brad Sturgeon, his wonderful pen and pencil drawings bring the story to life.

For you, my children and grandchildren, our lives expressed in stories, starting with Trudy, our family dog.
