Meet the real Sophie

Sophie isn't just a character. She's a real little Maltipoo, 4½ years old, who started traveling in a motorhome when she was just 8 weeks old. She's been to 34 states and lots of national and state parks.

She loves everyone, but she's especially fond of children. When she goes shopping with Mama Jackie and Daddy Tom, she rides in the cart, and when someone stops to say hi, she wiggles with excitement and offers doggy kisses.

And every book ordered here gets her very own paw-graph.
