Murphy the Dog - Sealed with a Kiss

What could be more fun than fetching a stick thrown into the wild surf of the Atlantic? Nothing…, that is unless you can’t find your stick anymore. At least this was the viewpoint of Murphy the Dog on a sun filled summer day at the beach on Nantucket Island.

Someone was teasing him, but who or what was this mysterious mammal? His mother had told him bedtime stories of legendary animals, which lived in the sea, but he and the other pups thought they only existed in fairytales.

The encounter with this curious creature leads Murphy to embark on an escapade he never could have dreamed was real.

Join Murphy on his adventure and see how this whale of a tale unravels.

Description back cover:

Baffled, Murph sought in the grinding surf,

Determined to bring his stick back to dry turf,

… But no where could it be found.
He needed an explanation, that hound.
The reason he discovered was …
The longer he did search and swim,

Beyond anything that he could imagine.
And as sure as seagulls cackle and caw
If things can go wrong, then they will …
That’s Murphy’s law.
