Pug at the Beach: An island dog's reflection on life by Jackson Dunes


ABOUT THE BOOK:
Pug At The Beach It's not about a breed. It's about a lifestyle. What do you get when you combine the Dahli Lama, Jimmy Buffett, and the turquoise blue waters of a tropical island? Why Pug At The Beach, of course! His name is Pug and he's a common dog with uncommon wisdom.

He's got a dorsal fin for an ear and a really nice collection of surfing shorts. His calm and wise insights combined with his playful attitude make for some very interesting adventures from his home at the beach. Travel with Pug At The Beach and find out how Pug learns to make new friends, overcomes his fear of the unknown, and successfully adapts to change. Find out why learning to surf helped him overcome adversity or how flying a kite can lead to great scientific discoveries.

This innovative and thought provoking book is a whimsical yet philosophical look at life. Tropical drawings along with short verses of text promise to inspire readers of all ages through subjects such as: being mindful, the importance of taking time for ourselves, overcoming any adversity, and remaining true to our authentic selves. Whether a kid or a kid at heart, readers of all ages have benefitted from Pug's simple wisdom and playful attitude.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Diana Taylor, who uses the pen name Jackson Dunes, is an innovative, inspirational writer of the Pug At The Beach books. She teaches people how to pursue their dreams and live a life of joy. Her own journey has brought her from being a stay at home mom, through a difficult divorce, to a life altering decision to leave her home of 25 years and chase her dream of living "at the beach." In 2008 she moved from rural New Hampshire to South Florida.

The character "Pug" was created in Key West and developed while her children were young. Pug's calm manner, playful attitude, and insightful wisdom appeals to both adults (for whom it was written) and children (who know a good thing when they see it.)

Taylor's unique approach to writing, whether the Pug books, or her short stories and essays, has garnered much attention and respect as well as a legion of devoted followers who speak of being consistently motivated to make positive changes in their own lives after reading her work.
