The Adventures of Tooten and Ter: A Nose for Crime
My name is Chris McCloskey. I am an author, a teacher, a storyteller, and most importantly, a service dog raiser. My husband and I raise service dog puppies for their first year.
So, it was only natural that I write stories and tell stories about my favorite friends—middle school kids and service puppies in training.
What a good detective team!
