In 1998 I was a counseling intern working with special-needs elementary school students. I shared with my clients the story of how Isosceles grew from a wildly out-of-control ADHD puppy to a highly-trained service dog. Then, also inspired by my clients, I somehow managed to illustrate the story, even though I thought I couldn't draw.
In the fall of 2002 Isosceles, now getting on in years, developed arthritis and pain in his hip and lower back. The veterinarian thought he would need expensive surgery. A friend helped us set up the Moosepuppy Medical Fund to raise money for the surgery.
I took my "Story of Isosceles" and illustrations to a print shop and had it made into a booklet. I added an introduction about how I came to write the story and draw the pictures (even though I obviously can't draw). A history of my involvement with service dogs is also appended.
This is not a professionally-produced book. It's a photocopied booklet with a card stock cover. We are sending it as a gesture of appreciation for contributions to the veterinary care fund.
