About the Author - Denise Flagg, Author

Meet the Author

The Klaus Series was created in memory of our 120-pound, gentle-spirited Rottweiler name Klaus. He was the most human-like dog that we had the joy of loving. In autumn, he loved to play in piles of leaves, and he was always sure to have a snow-covered nose on a snowy winter’s day.

Comfy pajamas, hot chocolate, a good book, and a dog by my side. It doesn't get any better than that!

Thoughts From a Shelter Dog

Written by Denise

Please look at me.

Please don’t walk away.

Maybe today will be my day.

Come home with me.

I hope to hear someone say.

Maybe today will be my day.

I dream of a yard in which I can run and play.

Maybe today will be my day.

A content belly,

And a soft, warm bed I pray.

Maybe today will be my day.

Imagining games of Tug-a-War.

And belly rubs every day.

Maybe today will be my day.

Did you know that my love is unconditional?

And that never will it stray?

Maybe today will be my day.

A family to call my own…

I am blessed. Hooray, hooray!

There’s no maybe about it—

Today is my day!
