Author Notes:	Bonnie Kelso studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design where she met the first dog she ever fell in love with - a boxer named Check. Now she lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her family, a tortoise shell cat named Frida, and a Boston Terrier named Winston. She often volunteers as a foster parent for a local dog rescue group. Dogs keep her happy (and her feet warm) while she writes and illustrates books for children. To learn more about Bonnie and her work, visit www.BonnieKelso.com. Kentee Pasek became a full-time content creator in June 2020. She holds a degree in Recreation Administration and Fine Art from the University of Northern Colorado. A lifelong love of animals and fascination with photography and video production propelled her into social media. The story of her beloved upright-walking dog, Dexter, became her sole focus on many different platforms online. Kentee and her family live in Ouray, Colorado returning to her hometown after her husband retired from the Coast Guard. The backdrop of this stunning mountain town and the unique upright walking ability of Dexter turned this Brittany Spaniel dog into an inspirational canine star.
