Each year, thousands of pets are relinquished by their owners when a new baby arrives and becomes part of the family. It is common for new parents to experience a phase where they believe it is better to give up a family pet in this situation. Safety is the number one concern.Â
In order to address the topic of living with pets, babies, and toddlers harmoniously, ‘Puppy Love Promises’ touches on safety and bonding. This tender haiku story told from a dog’s point of view takes the reader through a time passage as we learn how a mother helps her dog and baby grow together in a safe and loving environment. Based on the author’s own experience, she brings light and encouragement to new mothers and families about patience, responsibility, and the human/pet bond. This book includes information from www.familypaws.com, a wonderful resource and program that offers educational materials, support, and guidance in preparing parents on how to live safely with pets during the baby and toddler phase of their child’s life. With proper pet training and the right supervision, positive and loving relationships can exist among all family members with their pets.
Illustrator Anna Leliwa brings to life this timeless story with her realistic paintings in pastels and vibrant colors. Her soft brush strokes give the story a tender tone of love and kindness.Â

Brenda Fiorini, writer of Rescue Pup, enjoys reading and writing children's books especially about pets. Rhyming stories are the most fun to read and write because of their rigid structure, and kids seem to like reading over and over stories that rhyme. Not only is it fun, but kids learn to read, build vocabulary, and develop a love for reading! Haiku is a short form of poetry with a 7-5-7 syllable format. Each haiku poem completes the story of Puppy Love Promises.Â
