About Children’s Book,  Searching for Nanny Jo:

Nanny Jo raised her lovable Doberman, Rosy, from the time she was a pup. Rosy was brought up with love and affection and shared such fun times with Nanny Jo.

When Nanny Jo wakes up late one day and forgets to close the gate,  Rosy chases her car until it disappears. Discovering she is lost, Rosy begins her journey to find Nanny Jo. On the way, Rosy meets a series of delightful dogs and a cat, all of whom are homeless.

Having a kind heart and confidence in her master, Rosy invites every new friend to join the group, assuring them that when they find Nanny Jo, she will love and give all of them a new home. Using their skills and imagination to overcome some obstacles along the way, the friends refuse to give up.
