The Baxter short stories are based on the sometimes touching, sometimes suspenseful, but always exciting true-life adventures of a tiny dog with a big heart. The mission of this children's book is to educate children that even a humble, unassuming animal (such as a pet dog) can overcome life's trials and lead a fruitful, productive life. These little children's stories emphasize that life-in any form, whether human or animal-is valuable and reinforce the concept that all God's creatures have their own place and time on Earth. Similar to the wonderful theme Disney stories have presented for generations! During his lifetime, little Baxter spread joy and happiness wherever his travels took him. He makes a wonderful role model, demonstrating that an ordinary creature can triumph over what, at the time, appears to be great adversity. Baxter is an inspiration to children who suffer from traumatic events such as abandonment or serious physical injuries.

Volume One: Baxter the Bat Dog is abandoned by his family and struck by a car. Veterinarians rush to mend his broken legs. A TV station puts Baxter on the local news, announcing that he needs a new home. Merry Jones, a cheery young woman with two cats, is chosen as Baxter's new owner.

Volume Two: In this illustrated children's story with a Halloween theme-Baxter is dressed as a Bat Dog and spends Halloween with Merry's niece and nephew. They attend the school's Halloween party and other fun outdoor events. Baxter generously shares his goodies with his cat friends-Cinnamon and Pearly-Mae.

Volume Three: In this illustrated Christmas story-Baxter and the family cats decide what presents to give their "owners" for Christmas. A snowstorm prevents Baxter from digging out his surprise bone gift. But afterwards, Baxter discovers a miraculous gift that demonstrates his devotion and love.

A portion of ALL portions will be donated to various humane charities.
