Karen Martone has been an educator- classroom teacher for 31 years. Maria Rossini is recently retired after owning a landscape business. They are both natives of New Jersey USA and moved to Florida in 2021

They are excited to share Theodore the Newfoundland with the world. He is now 17 months old and continues his training to be a therapy dog. What inspired this book was the love he receives from everyone who meets him and the comfort and love he gives back. All of the images on the book are cartoonized versions of actual photos of Theo. They represent the day he came home up until his first birthday.

We hope this book makes you smile and love him as much as we do.
