Dolly isn’t an author but still is helping us with the book. She loves to invite herself up on the sofa and beg for food. She is so cute and has many different vibrant colors! Dolly enjoys ripping through the backyard, eating chicken, salmon, and steak, running around crazily and being a Malligator in the morning (Malinois, Alligator) At the end of the day after her needs are met; food, water, walks, and snuggles, she will become a couch potato and live her best life!
