Two thousand years ago the angels appeared to the shepherds announcing the birth of Christ. On that same night they also appeared to a very special sheepdog. Join Gur and his best friend, Elon and experience the wonderment of heaven from the eyes of a simple sheepdog. Take a journey along with Gur who like so many of us wait in anticipation for a glimpse of heaven's glory. Enjoy the miracle of a heaven filled with a host of angels announcing God's greatest gift to earth. Then follow them through the town of Bethlehem in their search to worship the Christ child. See in the manger a child who comes into this world in a humble stable far from the palatial surroundings of earthly kings. Then when all seems calm in the stable, Gur will face his greatest battle in protecting his family and the Christ child. Kay Erwin, her husband and their Australian Shepherd Deacon, have spent most of their lives along the Gulf Coast of Texas. Kay graduated from West Texas State University in 1980 and has spent most of her career in technology. Her passion has always been teaching God's Word through a ministry to College Students and Women's Bible Study for the past 15 years. She and her husband, for the past year, have been praying about a ministry of encouragement through the written word. In 2007 they created a design and ministry endeavor, called Deacon Dog Designs. Her belief is that one of God's greatest examples of unconditional love is demonstrated through the relationship of a dog to his master. Her love of animals has lead her to write a series of cards for encouragement, utilizing dogs to demonstrate God's principles. She is in the process of developing several children's books, an extended line of cards and devotionals.

A golden retriever narrates a hilarious, heart-tugging tale of a dog and his humans as he tries to keep his family together while everything around them falls apart. Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he’s known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow. Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead. When Max gets a crazy idea to teach them both a dance routine for a contest, how can Cosmo refuse, stiff hips or no? Max wants to remind his folks of all the great times they’ve had together dancing — and make them forget about the “d” word that’s making them all cry. Told in the open, optimistic, unintentionally humorous voice of a golden retriever, I, Cosmo will grab readers from the first page — and remind them that love and loyalty transcend whatever life throws your way.
