Author Information

Betsy Christensen is a retired visual arts teacher who has loved dogs for as long as she can remember. As a child, her parents told her she couldn't have a dog because they didn't want to deal with the barking and shedding, but she researched breeds until she found one that did neither. For her eleventh birthday, her parents admitted defeat and got her a basenji, named Sheba. As an adult, Betsy has had two rescue dogs, Chutney and Randy, who became instant family members. Betsy lives in Bothell, WA with her husband Eric where they raised two amazing children, Grace and Carl, who both still live and work in the Pacific Northwest. This is Betsy's first book, but she plans to write more stories about Resilient Randy. Visit her website ResilientRandy.com for updates and follow Randy's daily activities on Instagram @sweetblindk9. Susan Morris discovered her love for colored pencil artwork a bit later in life than some and is primarily self-taught. Creating art is a passion and a calling for her. She loves creating art that tells a story, captures a special moment, or passes along a treasured memory. She prefers working with professional-grade colored pencils but also enjoys pastels and alcohol ink. But Susan does not work alone-she has help from her four-legged studio assistants: Maggie, Gypsy, and Buddy. Susan's work has been published in professional magazines and books and can be found in homes across the United States and internationally. She offers original artwork, commissions, and illustration services and shares her knowledge and experience through workshops in her hometown of Lewisville, NC and online courses.
