Teresa McBride is a teacher who enjoys teaching sixth grade. She resides in Kent, Ohio with her husband Gary and their rescued fur babies. Teresa and her husband have adopted dozens of homeless cats and dogs throughout the past 24 years and even rescued some field mice. Once Bootsy joined their family, Teresa was inspired to write a story about him because too many times her and her husband were told to get rid of him due to his behavioral issues. Like many rescues, Bootsy did not always experience a caring and secure environment. At the young age of 4 years old, Bootsy had already found himself tossed' aside and homeless. He is very adorable and yet incredibly boisterous too. Plus, as a teacher, her students were sharing some heartfelt stories about animals that broke her heart. With Booty's boisterous personality, Teresa decided to tell his story in a humorous way. An important message to help others as well as children understand that animals need to be treated with kindness and compassion. That rescued, adopted and homeless animals need lots of love and patience. Teresa is already working on a sequel of Bootsy's journey. To continue to spread the message in a light hearted way. It is her hope to raise awareness of the importance of empathy and kindness towards animals. To show that animals have feelings like people. Just like Bootsy and all the other rescued animals - with a understanding and patience - the unconditional love and loyalty that a rescued animal brings into the home is priceless!Judith Gosse illustratrated this book.
