How to Say a GOOD-Bye is a tiny tale about three little friends, Pete, John and Zoe, and how they each come to terms with the loss of a loved one. While this is a children’s book written for children, it also aims to help parents find the words to soothe themselves and their children when dealing with loss.
Have you ever wondered how some people make it through life? Well, you’re about to find out! Experience life through the eyes of an idiot. It’s true. We just don’t get it. Perhaps we never will. I have stumbled my way through life from riches to rags. Learn life’s lessons from a lovable loser who found out everything the hard way! I’ve had over a hundred jobs in my life, and have been fired from more than half of them. I have been escorted from work by security guards, banned from stores, and I ran for my life away from a couple of jobs. Companies have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to my incompetence. Take a walk with me on the dumb side. You will appreciate your life much more than before!

The Life and Times of a Caring Friend
The Healing Presence of a Golden Heart: A Reflection on You and the Sunshine, Dylan
There are animals who become part of our families—and then there are animals who become part of the world. In You and the Sunshine, Dylan, Linda Sanders takes us on an unforgettable journey with her golden retriever, Dylan, whose life was more than extraordinary—it was transformative.
This is not just the story of a beloved pet. This is the story of a companion who became a quiet but powerful force in the lives of many. From nursing homes and hospitals to schools, parades, and memorial services, Dylan’s golden presence radiated comfort, connection, and healing. Through therapy work, grief
outreach, and community service, he offered what few could: solace in silence, a moment of peace, and a reassuring sense that everything would be okay—even when it may not be.
Through Sanders’ graceful and deeply personal narrative, we see not only the love between a dog and his human but the impact of that love on others. Dylan’s story becomes a lens through which we explore what it truly means to give—to offer time, presence, and heart without ever expecting anything in return.
"A heartwarming tribute to an extraordinary therapy dog….a poignant celebration of unconditional love, healing, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals."
- Greg P.
More than just a memoir, You and the Sunshine, Dylan is a gentle meditation on loss and hope, service and love. It is a tribute to the kind of healing that transcends words, and to the quiet strength of animals who remind us to simply be. Dylan was not a trained therapist in the traditional sense—but he offered therapy in its purest form: connection, comfort, and unconditional acceptance.
Linda Sanders writes with tenderness and clarity, inviting readers to reflect on the moments in life when we are held together by grace—grace that often comes with fur, floppy ears, and a wagging tail. Her storytelling is layered with warmth, subtle humor, and quiet reverence, drawing us into a world where one dog’s service became a living testimony of love in action.
Whether you’ve known the companionship of a therapy animal or simply marveled at the gentle wisdom of dogs, this book will stir something within you. It’s not only a celebration of Dylan’s legacy but a reminder of our own capacity for kindness, empathy, and presence.
Because sometimes, the greatest teachers come without words—only wagging tails and golden hearts.
