First Edition Hardcover A pug. A mutt. A rusted toolbox. And a whole lot of heart. Handy Hounds is a touching and uplifting children’s chapter book about two unlikely best friends—Frankie, a strong-willed pug, and Morrie, a gentle mutt—who start a handyman business with nothing but scraps and determination. From junkyards to job sites, they learn what it means to show up, fix what’s broken, and build something real. Inspired by the life of a third-generation plumber and two real dogs, this story is more than an adventure. It’s a tribute to the trades, to the value of honest work, and to the quiet courage it takes to keep going when life gets tough. With themes of friendship, responsibility, second chances, and pride in blue-collar roots,

Handy Hounds is perfect for ages 6–12, dog lovers, and families who believe in the power of kindness, grit, and getting your hands dirty.
