"Dogs romp, frolic and play, but they also feel sad and lonely at times. Zooch the Pooch is a delightful tale about how friends – four-legged or otherwise – can help kids endure life’s changes.”

“This is a very sweet story about friendship, community, love, loss, and healing. The story will introduce your child to new friends and to a new understanding of the natural flow of life. Zooch the Pooch will help you feel good about feeling sad.”

---Tama J. Kieves, best-selling author of "THIS TIME I DANCE! Trusting the Journey of Creating the Work You Love/ How One Harvard Lawyer Left It All to Have It All"

Based on a true story ("Who was Zooch?") "Zooch the Pooch, My Best Friend" is a parental teaching tool and specialty book about life for children and parents. It is a story about the leader of a pack of six dogs who all live in the same neighborhood. Zooch is his name and he's a great friend, in fact, he's the kind of friend that we all wish we had. He's brave, wise, considerate, accepting, thoughtful and tolerant. Everyday, Zooch romps and plays with his friends Linky, T, Huckle, Scully and Biscuit. They chase Prairie Dogs, play in a creek and take naps under a big Cottonwood tree.

Then, one cold day in the winter, Zooch takes ill and passes away. Scully and the rest of the pack mourn his loss, but a new dog comes into the community, they welcome him into the pack and life gently moves on. Narrated in a beautiful way by an Irish setter named Scully, the story of Zooch teaches children how to endure the tough challenges, and yet, learn to understand the natural flow of life.

Included at the end of Zooch the Pooch is a unique and special 10-page "Companion Booklet for Parents and Guardians" which is intended to guide adults through the difficult task of explaining loss to children. The Stages of Grief are explained, how to answer the inevitable questions children will ask is covered, and recommended references of books and websites are detailed.

Zooch the Pooch was illustrated by renowned artist Julia McClurg and designed by graphic artist Nori Hasan. Through their talents the artwork and appearance of Zooch and his friends leap off the page and engage children in a thoughtful and loving experience.
