When I first began my journey as a pet sitter in Falmouth on Cape Cod, I had no idea where the journey would lead me. Pet sitting involves visits to clients' homes, giving peace of mind to pet owners, and eliminates the trauma that many pets experience when they are boarded in an unfamiliar environment. I believe pets are God's example to us of unconditional love. If we could be half as loving, loyal, trusting, and awesome as pets, we could change the world. Much to my surprise, in the past fifteen years my earnings have exceeded $300,000. Much more than income though, was the satisfaction and love I received in return from fur friends.

My name is Joaquin and I am a curious dog who loves to sniff out any adventure. On my vacation to Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I visited the beach, swam in the ocean and visited my family. I had a great time!

The Adventurous Life of a Cape Cod Dog allows the reader to experience Cape Cod's beautiful landscape, ocean, and animals through the eyes of a local dog. While Shelby serves as a host at his family's bed & breakfast, he shares his exciting life on the Cape with his readers. He teaches them about the land and sea, and their inhabitants. With this smart canine, readers study marine mammals on a whale watch, sail an old wooden schooner, camp in the dunes to understand the plight of the piping plover, and kayak an estuary to witness the comeback of the osprey. Through this dog's escapades, children will be entertained and educated. This story also has much to offer adults who love dogs and nature.
