Bree Clausen is a self-published author from San Diego, California. She has a Master's degree in fine art from Pratt Institute, NY, and teaches preschool. Most importantly, she is the biggest bulldog fan you could meet. Wherever there is a bulldog in Encinitas, you can find her pulling her car over, running after them on the beach, and stalking them at the street fair. To her, no other dog compares to a bulldog. One day, she hopes to own a house, where she can run a retirement home for a couple of old special needs bulldogs that need rescuing.
This is her first book, which was over 5 years in the making. Bubba was her baby and accompanied her from San Diego to grad school in New York and back. He is now in doggy heaven, but it has been Bree's dream to have his memory live on. He touched her life more that she can ever express and this story is based on his true personality.
