Patrick the wayward Setter

here is a website for everyone interested in the books. I update it frequently: www.publishedauthors.net/dianeganzer. Check it out!

why I wrote this book

I was searching the Web for info on English setters and found there to be a lot of rescue groups trying to find homes for setters. Most of these dogs were young, leading me to believe that people buy a high energy dog, then have no idea how to handle it as they grow. I had a setter of my own and determined that I would stick it out. I wanted to take the idea of responsible pet ownership further and wrote these two "Patrick" books to help others stick it out also. You don't have to own a setter, any breed will do. The first book goes into detail about things like the first night home, neutering, training, housebreaking, etc. Hopefully this book and it's sequel will help all those who own a dog or are thinking about it!

Isn't he cute?

Patrick

If you are looking for a good dog story, then "Patrick the Wayward Setter" and it's sequel, "A Christmas Miracle" is for you! Filled with humor and some tears, it's about a family who adopts an English setter puppu and must deal with all the problems and troubles of raising a dog. The family head doesn't care much for the dog and must resolve his differences concerning him. Patrick is basically a coward until one day when a big dog moves in next door, then attacks a little boy. Can Patrick save the boy before it is too late? What is the price a dog is willing to pay for the ones he loves? In the sequel, Patrick again is called on to save a 17 year old boy before he freezes to death in a Christmas eve storm. Will the boy trust this dog when he never wanted a pet in the first place?
These books were written for children ages 8-12, but anyone who loves a good dog story will adore Patrick!
Plan on looking for these books at www.amazon.com, or www.barnesandnoble.com. They are written by Diane Ganzer, who knows a lot about the ways of a puppy.
