Gail Nelson Canada

Gail Canada is a true farm girl, living on the same farm where she grew up. The farm is her soul and holds all her childhood memories. She and her husband, Randy, have turned the dairy farm into a horse-boarding facility. She started a window treatment installation business when women didn’t really do that kind of manual work, and was fortunate to have Randy to assist in both operations. Gail wrote a column called The Groovy Guru for her high school newspaper and excelled in journalism classes.

The Perfect Dozen

$16.95

The touching tale of 12 perfect puppies and the family that raised them. ​

​By Gail Nelson Canada

In 1997, Gail Canada encountered an abandoned black Lab puppy running along the country road near her house. She took him in and named him Jake, having no idea of the journey she’d begun. Eight years later, she and her husband Randy would bring home a yellow Lab puppy named Hannah, and Hannah and Jake would become the parents to a litter of twelve tiny Labradors: six yellow, six black; six male, six female. A perfect dozen.

This is the story of a bustling canine family and the humans and animals whose lives they touched. It’s a book for anyone who has ever loved a pet like a family member. And it’s an exploration of the touching behaviors and antics that make our pets so much like us, and what we can learn from animals to help us be more like them.
