In a small neighborhood nestled in a southern North Carolina town, a small tri-colored beagle becomes part of a very special community family. With unmatched speed, this beagle is hard to keep up with when he lacks a collar and quickly becomes part of the family's daily routine. With his familiar furry face popping up throughout the families' daily lives, he becomes a constant reminder that love can come in many forms.
"Speed Beagle" is based on a real-life event of a beagle that approached the author one day, leaving a permanent mark on her heart. Though the beagle did not stick around, his story was still full of love. As a tribute, the beagle in the story is a combination of the four beagles the authors have had over the span of 25 years.
Karen Richards is a retired mother of 3 boys and 4 beagles. She enjoys gardening, cooking, and reminiscing on memories from Hope Valley, Rhode Island. Now, Karen lives in Florida, where she hopes to continue to create more amazing memories.
Retired Naval Submariner and biotech Supervisor. So blessed our sons had the enjoyment of growing up in a nice town and loving their beagles.
