BOOKS
“The perfect book for the young, budding veterinarian or animal lover, with an important message to teach about animal welfare and kindness towards all things dog...”
- Dr. Justine Lee, DACVECC, DABT, Author of "It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet"
“Laura pens a wonderful tale here where Ruffer, Jada and Slobber show the power and importance of friendship, courage, listening and ethics—lessons all youngsters can benefit from learning as early as possible.”
- Will Draper, DVM, Host of Nat Geo WILD's Animal ER Live
"I adored this surprising story for the beauty it reveals in toughness and grit, in pure distaste for the norm, and in the unpredictable paths carved out by love. Shimmering with tactile pleasure in a paradoxically repulsive underground world, the writing produces the visceral pleasure of travel with the bonus-thrill of a Goonies adventure...Thrilling, with a great ending."
- writer Lindsay Sterling, reviewing Shadow Swans

"With ease and creativity, Laura draws us deeply into this dark tale of counter-culture hermits intentionally withdrawn from industrialized society, and teaches us that sometimes beauty and angels can be found in the most destitute hell."
“The perfect book for the young, budding veterinarian or animal lover, with an important message to teach about animal welfare and kindness towards all things dog...”
"Laura Thomas spins a hauntingly beautiful story of finding adventure, love, and redemption in the most unlikely of places. A must-read for fans of The Hunger Games, this book pulls you into a dark and magical world you never want to leave."
