This Poodle Can Help Children’s Literacy!

Arry is a miniature red poodle, who was born in Tucson, Arizona, on October 30, 2017. His Mon’s name is Sahuarita and his Dad’s name is Dominar.  He loves and lives with his adopted Mom—Denise Meridith—in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.  He loves kids, dogs, birds, everyone! Arry thanks you for reading his first story!

Arry says "I live in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. It is always sunny here. There is a lot to see, even in my backyard. I am learning as I grow. I hope my lessons will help you, too. There are three books so far in my Adventures of Arry series. I want kids to enjoy reading and parents and grandparents to enjoy spending time reading with them!"

Denise Meridith is an author, journalist and CEO of a public and community affairs corporation—Denise Meridith Consultants Inc (DMCI)--and a virtual community of CEOs called The World's Best Connectors—headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Her previously published books include Thoughts While Chillin’ and The Year a Roof Rat Ate My Dishwasher--inspirational books for adults--and she has published over 1000 newspaper and magazine articles. Denise also bred and showed dogs for many years. She decided to document and share the many antics and adventures of her latest dog—Arry, as the lessons he is learning are valuable to his young human friends, as well.
