“Faith in Fay is a marvelous story for adults to read to children and for young readers to read themselves. The lessons taught through the life-saving work of rescue dogs and the bond between handler and dog are inspirational and will captivate the attention of young readers everywhere. As a classroom teacher, I see many ways to use this story with classroom lessons and student learning. I hope this is only the first of Fay’s adventures.”

“There is perhaps no more rewarding task for a police officer than finding a lost child. Faith in Fay captures all the drama, the suspense, the urgency, and the reward of these missions. It’s a great story, and a great way to learn about canine rescue teams.”

“Faith in Fay inspires us to trust the dog to do what we cannot. Fay’s handler carefully nurtured her natural abilities with positive reinforcement. A remarkable story about a remarkable dog.”
Tulsa SPCA
“Faith in Fay is a wonderful story that explores the human-animal bond between a dog and her owner as they work as a team to serve humankind through Search and Rescue (SAR). Fay embodies the essence of the working nature of the Border Collie breed, how loyal, intelligent, and “biddable” the dogs are, and also how much activity they require to adequately use their talents and keep them mentally challenged. An endearing read for children and adults alike.”
Border Collie Society of America
“All firefighters love to work directly with children and Faith in Fay dovetails with canine rescue. Reading to children such a success story only reinforces these principles.” Chris Bain, EFO, Executive Director
