Welcome to the new and improved second edition of Daring Dexter, a story on how aviation sparks change in a rescue dog's life. This elevated version features text and illustration adjustments. It also shares professional photography of the main character, rescue dogs Zeke and Dexter, and the author, Erin Mariah Murphy, in her pilot role. The second edition's text and illustration changes intend to connect deeper with readers. It provides an excellent perspective on how aviation helps dog and cat adoptions nationwide.
Daring Dexter loved roaming the streets. He was free to collect bones, make art, and show off his swagger. He thought he had it all, but did he? Beginning with a rescue flight, follow along with Daring Dexter and his new friend Zeke as they explore the joys of rescued animal life. It is a humorous picture book that celebrates those who dare to change. This comical picture book is based on actual events and shows how many shelter animals experience freedom flights within their adoption process. Halfway Home is the debut book by international pilot-author Erin Mariah Murphy. Daring Dexter shares more of homeless dogs helped by aircrews, except this time, it includes homeless cats. With a new narrator voice, Daring Dexter isn't a true series with Halfway Home. However, Halfway Home fans can enjoy seeing a more confident Zeke as he relates to street dog and artist Dexter in a tale about the brotherhood that encourages change. This found-family story is ideal for adoptive families, big-hearted aviators, and those who want to cuddle up with a furry companion to read. Daring Dexter is a delightful read for all ages, traditionally for ages 4-8, alternatively for ages 4-dog mom or 4-dog dad.
