"Like all great poets, Louise Strang draws you into her art, leaving you spellbound and breathless with a clearer understanding of your own soul. You feel that she has put your feelings into words, feelings that may be difficult to express yourself."--Cindy Hood.

What is good sense? It may not be as common as you think! Arthur Dogson Todd has an uncommon form of good sense to share that is often humorous and inadvertently wise.Coming from a rescuer's home on the Cumberland Plateau, Arthur describes himself as a "pure pup" when he arrives at Misty Meadows Farm. With his naïve nature intact, he like many young idealists runs into unfairness, misunderstanding, and even combat.Based on actual events, a wide variety of situations, and his clever take on life, Arthur's stories provide quotable quotes, fun plays-on-words, and lively images of all sorts of battles even some within himself. Being sensitive as well as having a sensible approach to problems, he comes up with surprising observations of other residents, especially the humans whom he calls sapiens as a testament to their wisdom.His journey toward maturity follows many paths, including bringing his case against the rooster to Judge Robin's court. In other adventures, he confronts deceptive business practices with the authority of a self-appointed Canine Representative, and also attempts to assist Mother Nature in the survival of one species.Arthur has a lasting place as a charming, energetic, and lovable canine who strives to make his world fair and just with dignity and happiness for all.
