In her children's book Church Da Surfin' Staffy, author Melinda Falgoust tells the story of a real-life therapy dog Chuch, whom she met while visiting her favorite island Maui.
"I saw a dog surfing on a surfboard with a young child," she said in the podcast interview. "I followed the owner and asked if I could tell Church's story."
Once there was a tiny pup who needed a good home-born on Maui island where the ocean waters foam. When a lonely puppy named Church finds his "fur-ever" home on a surfboard with a man named James, life is pretty maika'i. But when the local surf pup earns his official service animal rating and works to help other people overcome their fears-it gets even better.
Listen in to win a signed copy of Church Da Surfin' Staffy, along with an adorable plush.
