accidental tiny dog is a 20-page picture book for children ages 2 - 8, but the clever rhymes and happy artwork will bring joy to all ages.

The creators of this book hope to promote shelter and foster-based rescue pet adoption by sharing our story. We make donations throughout the year to local pet rescue organizations from a portion of proceeds from the book.

Puppy Love

Rosie and Babcock, two adoptable puppies in southwest Colorado, donated their cuteness to help promote the book as well as the #adoptdontshop movement just in time for 2022’s holiday shopping and adopting season! Beesly even got to make a cameo.

**Pupdate: both Rosie and Babcock have since found their forever homes!**

about the creators

Author Sarah Kautzman and artist Chad Clewley had the good fate to be Colorado neighbors, and the good sense to stay friends. Their (mostly rescue) dogs formed a pack, and their families formed the Soul Neighbor Crew after houses were sold and babies were had. Now, they’ve created something to share with you and your families. They hope you enjoy it!
