In an Amazon review of Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark,” a reader wrote, “The Mystery of the Missing Dog Books” is fun and heartwarming. Bash’s favorite dog books keep disappearing from the library, so he and his sister Ally team up with their grandma and Bash’s trusty dog Lucy to catch the thief.
The book promotes being kind and loving dogs, and they even create Dog-tention to turn mean people into dog lovers. It’s a cute story that’ll make you feel good inside and remind you how great dogs are.”
In the book, the fourth in our Bash and Lucy series, someone has been stealing Bash’s favorite dog books from the library, books that help calm him when the world is too loud, too bright, or too busy.
Bash enlists the aid of Grandma Vera, a feisty, do-good immigrant from Ukraine and the town’s assistant mayor, to help identify the thief. He also recruits his sister, Ally, a spunky mayor-dancer-librarian. Of course, the investigation also requires the super senses of Bash’s golden retriever, Lucy.
Ally and Grandma Vera, with Lucy by their side, tackle the mystery of the missing books while they pursue their mission of helping people get along better. Their message: Let’s embrace the goodness of dogs. To spread their message, Vera and Ally establish daily canine-adoring holidays. They also invent “Dog-tention,” which transforms troublemakers, naysayers, and bullies into dog lovers.
Can Bash, Vera, Ally, and Lucy find the book thief, end the arguing and bullying, and help people work together?
The authors hope to inspire readers to embrace Grandma Vera’s messages about kindness, empathy, and love.

Co-author Lisa is working on a new children’s dog book series–Lea is headed to college–that focuses on the same themes of kindness, empathy and love.
It will star Hudson, who recently passed away, and our new pup, golden retriever River.
