Before The Snuggle Puggle became the name of our foundation, it was a story written by Dena.

Dena was a teacher who had a special love for children, learning, and finding ways to make others smile. While in college, she wrote a children's book called The Snuggle Puggle, inspired by her beloved dog, Gus.

Years later, that little story has taken on a whole new meaning.

As part of our mission to keep Dena's memory alive and share pieces of who she was with others, our family is working to bring The Snuggle Puggle to life and publish the book she wrote all those years ago.

We're still in the early stages, but we're so excited for what is ahead. Continue to check back for updates — one day soon, you'll be able to order a copy of The Snuggle Puggle for yourself and help Dena's story live on.
