Dorothy Patent has written more than 130 nonfiction books for children -- including about a dozen about canines of one sort or another. She’s especially captivated by canines who help people, as in The Right Dog for the Job: Irah’s Path from Service Dog to Guide Dog. Her recent book, When the Wolves Returned: Saving Nature’s Balance in Yellowstone, received many awards, including the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Honor Book. With Saving Audie, she’s happily back to writing about the wolves’ beloved descendents.
