Keen & Loki: Three Stories of Friendship, Adventure, and Saying Goodbye is a collection of real moments wrapped in story — some joyful, some heartbreaking, all deeply meaningful.

At its heart, this book is about connection: between a dog and his people, between students and a classroom visitor with a wagging tail, and between the memories we carry and the love that never truly leaves us.

These stories were inspired by muddy trails, classroom giggles, quiet acts of bravery, and the kind of love that stays with us long after goodbye. They are also rooted in the real-life courage of Keen — whose final act was one of deep love and selflessness. His sacrifice is part of what makes this story so powerful, and so human.

If you’ve ever loved a four-legged friend or had to say a hard goodbye, I think you’ll feel something here.

Make yourself at home — tissues are on the left, belly rubs on the right.

With love,
Lisa
