Roxanne’s Reflections Book and Card Shop will host a book launch for I’m a Bear on Nov. 30.
Unlike other books at the downtown Fergus store, this self-published book, subtitled Autobiography of a golden doodle as told to Don Ranney, is not the work of a typical author.
Ranney, a retired professor from the University of Waterloo, says the book was actually written in first person by his beloved dog, Bear, who relayed to Ranney the tale so it could be recorded in book format.
The book, event organizers say, will be enjoyed specifically by animal lovers, and it “carries a message of acceptance, love and understanding that will appeal to everyone.”
The book launch at Roxanne’s Reflections is on Nov. 30 from 2 to 4pm and will feature an opportunity to meet Bear, and get the dog to “sign” a copy of the book. Roxanne’s is located at 152 St. Andrew Street West in Fergus.
