Answer: A manuscript by J. Patrick Lewis and Beth Zappitello was under review by the Editorial Team at Sleeping Bear Press when (then) President-elect Obama announced that the girls would be getting a puppy. A few adjustments in the manuscript were requested and…

J. Patrick here to pick up that thread: Beth and I worked feverishly on our revisions, finishing them in about two to three weeks, to the satisfaction of our publisher and editor. Sleeping Bear Press knew that the time factor was critical.

But in the end, it was all Tim, painting day and night, who got us on schedule.

Hooray for the illustrator!

Being a big advocate for dog rescue and having adopted several myself I love the topic and the support of rescue dogs around the country.

Good luck and keep writing.
