About the authors.
The Authors are a team of dedicated dog handlers who spend their days working alongside a team of loyal, hardworking canine partners…. The Dogs With A Job.
Inspired by the many curious questions from children who spot the dogs on duty, as well as their own nephews and friends children etc, the dog handlers began writing children's books to explain in a fun, friendly way - what a Dog With A Job does.
Whenever the dogs are out and about, children are instantly fascinated and eager to know who the dogs are and what kind of job they do, etc.
The dog handlers often hear the parents try to explain exactly what they do, struggling to answer the questions and so, the authors created stories that not only explain the important roles these hard working dogs do, but also capture their unique personalities and characters, in a fun and adventurous way.
