    About The Dog Who Made It Better

    Dr. Blob may not be a doctor but he is a dog with a very important job…it might even include saving a life or two. An uplifting tale of hope, healing, and the power of family to overcome grief.

    Dr. Blob has the best life a dog could ask for. He eats and he sleeps and he plays. He loves his family and they love him back. Life is pretty perfect.

    Then the Very Bad Thing happens. Suddenly life doesn’t seem so perfect and Dr. Blob is more afraid than he ever remembers being. How can he help his family get past the tragedy when what’s hurting them can’t be bitten or growled at? To make matters worse, there’s a new pet in the house and a growing threat outside of it in the form of an animal-hating neighor with a sinister plan. Will Dr. Blob be able to protect all he loves and save his family from grief? 

    The Dog Who Made It Better is the story of a dazzling, if cowardly, Bernese Mountain dog learning what he would sacrifice for his faimly—and how, sometimes, the best way to overcome our fears is to face them.
