Once Upon a Shining Star

Pepper, a black Dachshund puppy, was found at a rest area in Idaho in the middle of a snowstorm. Fortunately for Pepper, a Native American couple found her and rescued her. But who rescued whom? Their lives were never the same with Pepper's antics and adventures.

100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the books benefits New Mexico Dachshund Rescue.
