Princess Zoey and Prince Joey and Bud

About the Book

Princess Zoey and Prince Joey and Bud is the delightful story of a wonderful golden retriever, Zoey and her owner Dr. Burton Waisbren (Bud) who have a unique relationship, mostly because Zoey “talks.” Zoey has met a coyote and is struggling with the ups and downs of having a boyfriend, and Grandpa Bud helps her with her problems. We also learn how Zoey gets bathed, eats Bud´s hearing aid, saves an injured bird, and meets her “cousins,” Bud´s great-grandchildren. As the author so eloquently writes, “This book is for dog lovers who do talk to their dogs, for parents who as I did, came home after a hard days’ work, and then read to their children before putting them to bed, for Grandparents who want to bond with their grandchildren by tearing them away from television and reading to them, and above all, for children whose horizons are beginning to widen as they read books such as these.”
