""Erin does an amazing job of bringing attention to animal rescue flights and the importance of adoption. Daring Dexter is such a heartwarming, fun story that's entertaining for both adults and kids. My son is almost two years old, and this book quickly became one of his favorites. It is read at least once a day! He loves Dexter and his buddy Zeke. Recommend this book for any animal-loving family!"" Happy Customer ""I loved everything about this story. Written from the perspective of the reluctant rescue Dexter, it captures perfectly what I imagine must be going through the minds of pets being rescued. The story was wonderfully written and captures all aviation rescue elements. Surely, it is an eye-opener for those who may not know all involved with aviation rescue flights. It is written for children but is worth reading for young and older alike who are interested in animal rescue. This should be in every library and Elementary School!"" Happy Customer ""Daring Dexter "" is a compelling book for kiddos and adults interested in canine rescue missions. The narrative centers around Dexter, shedding light on the significance of animal welfare efforts and how aviation plays a crucial role in saving dogs awaiting adoption into loving homes. This book profoundly impacts all age groups by exploring themes of empathy and courage. In today's society, Daring Dexter symbolizes optimism, illustrating the transformative influence of love and determination within the enduring relationship between humans and animals.""

Author Information

Erin Mariah Murphy is the author of Daring Dexter, an airline pilot, and animal advocate. Literary seeds were planted when Erin adopted her first rescue pup, Zeke, and volunteered with animal air-rescue services whereby at-risk animals are efficiently moved from overcrowded shelters to shelters with more resources by air transports. Erin has been flying airplanes since she was fourteen years old. It was not until she was established at a legacy major airline that she volunteered with her local SPCA. So, it wasn't until midlife that she saw the magnitude and frequency at which at-risk animals were rescued through air transports to safe havens. Inspired and head over heels in love with her first adopted rescue pup, Zeke, she enrolled in picture book writing courses. After fostering 10 dogs over 6 years, Erin foster-failed her second rescue pup, Dexter, and published Daring Dexter. I hope Daring Dexter inspires the next generation of pet advocates, aviation lovers, and foster/adoptive families.
