Hello Woody Watchers!

Come in and visit our doghouse! My name is Woody. I am otherwise known as the Kentucky Wiener dog. I spend my time traveling all over the state, along with my sister and business partner, Chloe. Together, we talk to children everywhere about the importance of being a good reader and citizen. I have been in nine newspaper series and am currently the star dog in eight books: "The Adoption," "Welcomes a Dad," "A New Home," "Tails from the Bluegrass," "Tails from the Bluegrass II," "Mr. Dogwood Goes to Washington," "Dog Gone Wild" and the newest "Doghouse Divided."

Work and dream like a Big Dog!

Arff, arff! - Woody
