This beautiful Story about a dog\'s dedication and loyalty shows that bravery comes in all shapes and forms About the Author Allison Crotzer Kimmel worked as a teacher before earning a master\'s of professional writing degree from the University of Southern California, and she discovered a love of children\'s books and joined the SCBWI soon thereafter.
