Approximately four years ago (in 2010), I saw the most unbelievable happening. My adorable Yorkshire Terrier named Wizzie saved a drowning kitten from my family's pool in San Diego. It was an astonishing act of bravery for this 61/2 lb. bundle of fur. If you know anything about a Yorkie, they're fearless and have a big dog's demeanor. Being a writer, I knew I had a story to tell. However, I wasn't a children's picture book writer. When I spoke to my friend Lynne Berger about it, she thought it would make a great story and we should write it. Lynne is a very talented children's book writer whom I have grown to respect. We wrote the story together, but it kept getting postponed due to our health issues. In the summer of 2014 Lynne and I decided to move on with the Wizzie project. We would like to introduce you to 'Wizzie', my very own wonder dog. I think this story will reinstate your belief in courage and heroism. Please feel free to ask us any questions about Wizzie or our plans for this wondrous series. We would welcome your inputs and encouragement. Raman B. is an excellent illustrator, who made Wizzie come alive on paper for your children and grandchildren alike. Our editor Jagdeep Sambey believes that a children's book should not just entertain, but instruct and educate also. There is a time to develop a child's passion for reading and the time is NOW We're proud to bring you this amazing story."
