What I do

I am retired, and I volunteer at the CNIB with my guide dog, Cooper. I also write on the side, spending much of my time on Medium.

This is my most recent book project: Dear Diary, Love Cooper: Adventures of One Cool Guide Dog.

What I write about

I write about service dogs, specifically guide dogs, and love to give Cooper's perspective on things.

I read a lot and enjoy writing book reviews. Medium has a large reading community, which means there are always commentaries and book recommendations to browse, and share opinions on.

This is Cooper and me



Frequently asked questions about guide dogs, from the kids: 

Who picks up your guide dog's poo? Kids like talking about poo.

This is Cooper and Italy, both are guide dogs.

With my ebook 'Dear Diary, Love Coper,' I wish to raise awareness of sight loss and guide dogs. It's light and informative, and the dog tells the stories 🇨🇦
