Laura was a dear friend of mine. Although we only knew each other through ebay, we knew we were kindred spirits. We used to spend hours instant messaging on AOL. She also did sketches of all breeds of dogs. She sold the copyright to those. She passed away in 2015 of breast cancer.
The book is delightful and she autographed a copy of it for my grandson. He asked to have it read to him all the time. My daughter made up stories about Murphy, which delighted him.
I am so thankful that I have a copy of this rare book
