"Oh, Pepino!" Book Cover

The dog with no chill!

My debut children's picture book, "Oh, Pepino!" is available on Amazon now!

Inspired by our family dog, Pepino's misadventures, "Oh, Pepino!" is told from my perspective as a new dad and and pet owner. Pepino came into our lives in 2020 during what some might call… ahem… a pretty horrible time. Our adorable pup was a welcome distraction from all the things going on in the world, and he filled our home with light.

Our son Grayson was born in 2021, and Pepino has become his best bud. Little Pep was so sweet with the baby, and he's still the best dog anyone could ask for.

But… man, does he get himself into trouble! Like an older child, when a new baby comes into the family, it's almost like Pep regressed. He started peeing in the house, destroying toys, and waking the baby up with his perfectly-timed barking sessions. My wife and I joke that he's secretly messing with us since he never seems to misbehave while he's home alone. Grayson's toys remain intact, the carpet stays dry, and he always looks like he just woke up from a nap when we get home. It's like he's saving up his energy for when we get home before wreaking havoc!

Anyway, "Oh, Pepino!" is basically a list of grievances in children's book form. Still, the takeaway message is that no matter how much he pushes our buttons, Pepino is a cherished member of our family and we love him dearly.

I hope your family enjoys "Oh, Pepino!" as much as I did making it.
