A Day with Dutchess is a children's book inspired by the true life adventures of Dutchess, a blind therapy dog with a gentle and joyful heart. A gregarious and loving Golden Retriever with a smile to match, Dutchess is especially fond of her work with individuals with autism. She lives with her owner Mark in upstate New York.

In her first book, A Day with Dutchess, she shows her canine friend Droopy how small actions can make a world of difference. Join them as they work with children at the local autism center, sample treats at their favorite pet boutique and organize an adoption fair to help lonely cats and dogs find their loving forever homes. An inspirational tale for all ages, A Day with Dutchess teaches that everyone is truly special and can help make a better world.
