Introduction
Stephen Bardy, Executive Director
Imagine a book that is filled with stories and poems written by kids who love animals. Writing gives us the chance to use our imagination, to be creative, to explore our deepest thoughts and feelings, and to discover the gifts and talents we have inside.
Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is proud to present original works that tell how the young authors are feeling in their lives and thinking about the world around them. The writings and artwork are truly from the heart and strive to portray the hands-on experiences with shelter pets and knowledge gained from educational speakers during our weeklong Shelter Friends Summer Camps. You will not find these imaginative and creative ideas anywhere else.
Cathy Houde and Diane Anderson, in collaboration with Jolly Time Books authors Karen S. McGowan and Dennis E. McGowan, headed up this endeavor. Our campers contributed a wide variety of works, from humorous to inspiring to deeply personal, to share their fun experiences.
Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando educates, shelters, places, and heals pets and their families with compassionate, responsible care maintained to the highest professional standards. We create more caring communities by promoting happier, healthier pets and their families.
I hope you enjoy the stories and poems that our summer camp participants have put together for you. I encourage you to support our continuing positive community outreach programs.
Your support of Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando goes directly to helping pets in need. Whether it is finding a dog or cat a new forever home, providing low cost vet services, or helping to prevent pet homelessness through our spay/neuter program, Pet Alliance’s goal is to have happier and healthier pets in Central Florida.

Pet alliance is one of my favorite camps because,
1, they have dogs,
2, they have cats,
and 3, I love their rotations.
My favorite rotation is training.
Pet Alliance
At Pet Alliance you get to do all different things. Here I will name some.
They have excelent teachers and voulteers
They have very good dogs and cats. They are so cute!
So those were just about 5 percent of Pet Alliance!
Today at Pet Alliance we had 2 speakers in the morning. They brought 4 dogs. All of them were actor dogs except for 1 dog.
There was Peyton which was a yellow lab. Also there were 2 pugs. One was 7 and one was 3 months old! The 7 year old pug was named Tony. (He was the trouble maker in the movie and in real life.) the three month year old pug’s name is Mury. Mury doesn’t work for the movies yet. And there was one more dog named Kelly. I don’t know what type of breed she was, but she was really cute!

The reason why I love Pet Alliance is that I love all the animals here because they are always so nice and they are very adorable. Another reason why I love Pet Alliance is the staff because they are very nice! I love dogs. I love cats.
My number 1 favorite rotation is the cat room because I like to see the cats and pet some of the cats.
My number 2 is bathing the dogs beacuse you get to meet new dogs and they are always nice, funny and sweet. I love dogs. I love cats. I love pets.

Some of my favorite things about Pet Alliance is that you get to meet so many different types of dogs and cats, you can play with them, and you can do tricks with them.

They showed us what they teach the dogs. One of the things were kiss, the dogs would get on the actors lap and lick them
Officer Wong showed us how there dogs attack. Gillie dog attacked Officer Wong. then they told us that even though Officer Wong had all that equipment it still hurt
Today the Woodland Wonders came, and talked about how they reabilatate wild animals. The first animal they showed us was a red rat snake. Did you know that there is a black rat snake?
The second animal they showed us was an iguana, but they don’t know if its native to Florida. Next they showed us a opossum. I actually didn’t know they had thumbs. Afterwards we met a baby raccoon. Finally we met a gray fox, it didn’t feel as good as I thought but I still liked it.

My favorite part of Pet Alliance is the Cat Room because it is fun playing with the cats and seeing what they will do be nice or be lazy or be mean. I also like when we bathe dogs in rotations. But I love everything in Pet Alliance!
I love Pet Alliance because I love animals and it is fun. It also takes great care of animals.
I LOVE PET ALLIANCE!
