"A Very Naughty Beagle Named Bonnie" is a charming children's book that children, parents, and dog lovers will enjoy! This is the true story about a boy and the skinny beagle that he and his family adopted from a shelter. She proves to be very, very naughty as she follows her nose into lots of trouble. However, when the boy and his family decide to put that naughty beagle nose to good use as a sniffer dog, everything changes! This is the story about a boy named Jack. He had a friend with a beagle who moved away. After much begging, his parents finally let him bring home a beagle named Bonnie from the animal shelter. But a day with Bonnie is no walk in the park! On the very first night, Bonnie jumped on the dinner table and ate the leftovers. On vacation in the mountains, Bonnie escaped from their cabin, and they searched all over for her. At dog beach, Jack had to borrow a boy's bike to catch up with Bonnie when she took off toward the freeway. Everywhere she went, Bonnie got in trouble! It turned out that her nose was responsible for most of the trouble making.. so they put her nose to work. The same nose that got her into trouble would make her a great sniffer dog. But when Bonnie must put her sniffing skills into action, will she be able to pass the biggest test of all?
About the author

Diane’s experiences as an animal shelter volunteer, a rescuer, and a spay/neuter advocate have profoundly affected her personally and as a writer. When she and her husband Chris began their life together, they assumed animals would be part of their family. But neither could have imagined the sheer numbers of critters they would foster or adopt.

 

Over the years, the Calkins family has shared their home with abandoned dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, guinea pigs, rats, a parakeet named Pokey, and a chicken named Zoe. Their stories have provided fodder for her children’s books and a memoir called “An Ark of Sorts.” 

 

Zoe stars in Diane’s first picture book “One Happy Chicken. “A Very Naughty Beagle Named Bonnie” will debut early in 2022. “What to Do With a Ginormous Puppy” as well as a memoir called “An Ark of Sorts” will follow later this year. 

 

Many more stories wait to be told—the story of Jose Cuervo, the filthy, flea-ridden kitten with a broken pelvis; the story of Mouse the cat with no eyes; the story of Otis who became a long-distance trucker cat; the story of Chauncey the black Lab abandoned at a dog beach, to name but a few.
