Through supper dishes that seem to fly; pansy salads and conquering loveseats the size of Mt. Everest

Maddy - Courage and Heart - teaches us lessons about wide-eyed wonder, life changes and opening up to the miraculous all taught by a puppy.

Through humor, engaging storytelling and insight into the mind and attitudes of a puppy, Sam Kauffman draws readers into Maddy's story weaving a captivating tale about Maddy, her littermates and her family.

With eyes open, ears up and tail wagging, Maddy takes us on a journey from the vantage point of a lively puppy that discovers the world of bugs, music and how life is supposed to be through her "Puppy Handbook."

As each chapter unfolds, we are invited on a magic carpet of memories that ultimately brings the reader into the experience of grabbing onto life with courage and heart.

A must-have for anyone who loves animals!
