"A stray dog and Santa Claus. What more can you ask for in a kid's book? Sutton's clever story is imaginative and innovative."
--Louis Sachar (winner of the Newberry Medal and National Book Award, author of "Holes" and more)
The Santa Dog Family Edition provides a Christmas tale to be enjoyed by the entire family.
When abandoned golden retriever Denby is rescued by Santa in the Nevada desert on Christmas Eve, he knows he has found the perfect family. But over the months between one Christmas and the next, Denby finds himself again and again doing what he has been told not to. Are his actions somehow tied to the injury he had when Santa found him? Or is he just a bad dog? With the help of a reindeer, some elves, and Santa himself, Denby finds that solving his own mystery could also mean saving Christmas.
Start a new Christmas tradition with the Santa Dog Family Edition.
G.Z. Sutton based this work on the Denby of his youth, a dog that still holds high honors in his heart. When not writing Denby books, Garrett Sutton is an attorney, and author of a variety of business books, including Start Your Own Corporation, The ABCs of Getting Out of Debt and Writing Winning Business Plans. Garrett and his family live in Reno, Nevada.
“This story demonstrates that good conquers evil, trust has to be earned, and even elves can be a bit snippy if pushed. In this book, Sutton weaves two classic plots: 'Christmas is threatened,' and 'Abandoned Pet Needs a Home' into a charming tale of adventure that young readers and their parents will enjoy."
~Jacqueline Kent , author of three middle-grade children's books, "Business Builders in Cosmetics," "Business Builders in Fashion" and "Women in Medicine"
