Praise for Nubs
~Ellen DeGeneres
"I move than love it! It's a great, great book for kids and adults as well."
~Meredith Viera
"This book is fantastic. I defy you to read this book and not be moved by it."
~Conan O'Brien
"This is a wonderful story of the mutual devotion and the warm bond found between people and their pets..."
~New York Times Book Review
"A Flawless, Unforgettable Picture Book! I suggest you deprive no one in your life, no child or adult, of the pleasure of this book . . . It is a pitch-perfect victory of story-telling."
~Kepler's Books
" . . . a hugely inspirational account of "Nubs" (so named because his ears had been cut off by a unknown perpetrator) and his devotion to the American soldier who befriended him . . . The gritty, low-res shots of the two companions against the bleak Iraqi horizon are married with text so gracefully that many of the compositions could be book jackets."
~Starred Review, Booklist
"As an adult, I was cheering on Nubs and crying when setbacks in the story occurred . . . Please take the time to read this book because it is too amazing a book to fully describe."

Published by Little, Brown and Company
Website:
www.TheStoryOfNubs.com
Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. He was the leader of a pack of dogs, living off the land and barely surviving. Then one day he met Major Brian Dennis. They forged a powerful bond of friendship and love. So began an incredible journey that would take Nubs on a dangerous desert trek to find his friend and would lead Dennis on a mission that would touch the hearts of people all over the world.
