a book and
created a Coco
doll so many
more people
could get to
know her…

But as Coco got older she couldn’t do some of the things
she used to.
And the children who came to love her said “She doesn’t
have to do anything because she’s the Love Dog – she
just has to love us”.
So forever more she was known as Coco the Love Dog…
And Love Dog
Adventures was
born
