Valentine's Day was quickly approaching and I thought to surprise my sick husband with a stuffed animal. I ventured out to our department store and purchased a stuffed puppy and some chocolates to comfort him. He was delighted when I presented him this surprise. This small gesture of love seemed to ease the desire for an animate dog. It was actually my husband's illness and passion for dogs, that inspired me to write a series of books under the umbrella of "Buster's Big Adventures". My first book, "a Puppy's Special Day", is almost true to life. "Buster's Big Surprise" is the second book of five more under the series.
