Melinda Bramlett Joyner 
Boogie Dog and Guinea 

When a family in the mountains adopts a lonely little Red Bone Hound pup, they have no idea that their family will increase by two, not just one. This little red pup, Boogie, whose name matched his speed, bonds with a wild bird, a guinea, who just shows up one day at Boogie´s new home in the mountains. The couple who adopted Boogie already had three other dogs and several cats. This unlikely group, made up of dogs, cats, a wild bird and a wonderful couple, give a new meaning to family. This warmhearted story will appeal to children and adults of all ages.
