Henry and Mudge; The First Book

The first book in the acclaimed easy-to-read series featuring Henry and his lovable 180-pound dog, Mudge.

"I live in Oregon with my son, Nate, and our two dogs and one large cat. I have always loved pets. Raised in the country in West Virginia, I was surrounded by hound dogs and barn cats.

"When I grew up and found myself raising a boy and dogs, I was inspired to write the Henry and Mudge stories. I know all about cold shivers, big tests, happy cats, and wild winds. And especially big drooly lovable dogs."
