  The Duffy Chronicles,
Duffy Finds his Family

This is a story I wrote about our little pound puppy and how he came into our lives and enriched us all.  He has many adventures in his search for his purpose in life.  It's told through his voice, and based on facts. 
It is also available on www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com  And, you can ask your local book seller to order the book for you!  They make excellent Holiday gifts for children and pet lovers!


      I am very proud that Duffy was THE face of the Humane Society of Ocean City's summer education program!  We worked with their education department to create awareness and promote responsible pet adoptions.  The tag line was:  Learn how to adopt a pet from the expert... Duffy!
      We held workshops for children 8-13 yrs. old on how to write a story about your pet.  We also held a Family Night book signing and discussion.  Kudos to Bill Hollingsworth, the Executive Director of the Humane Society of Ocean City, and his staff,  for creating this innovative program!  
      

       We continue to sell books to help no kill shelters, so please add a copy to your library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Your friend Duffy!,
By  M. Ruta "dog/book lover" (Phila, PA) -
This story is great for so many age groups--adults will enjoy reading of Duffy's journey--of friends made, lessons learned--and you WILL identify with him! And kids will love having this story read to them until they can read it themselves! Duffy teaches compassion, understanding and the importance of friendship and the fact that it's the journey that matters! I hope Ms. Hammond continues to write about Duffy and his family!
