GEORGIE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERS.

He was a stray who wandered onto a farm, muddy and uncertain. But Deanne Samuels, a psychologist and storyteller, couldn’t walk away. She saw past the mess. She saw a dog who needed someone to choose him.

That moment became Saving Georgie.

Their bond is the foundation of every book Deanne writes. Georgie taught her about unconditional love, second chances, and the kind of loyalty that changes you. Now she writes stories that teach kids the same lessons: your heart matters, kindness costs something, and love makes room.

When she’s not writing, she’s walking with Georgie, soaking up his next adventure, and turning their everyday moments into stories that help kids feel brave.
