Betsy Christensen is a retired visual arts teacher who has loved dogs for as long as she can remember. As a child, her parents told her she couldn't have a dog because they didn't want to deal with the barking and shedding, but she researched breeds until she found one that did neither. For her eleventh birthday, her parents admitted defeat and got her a basenji, named Sheba. As an adult, Betsy has had two rescue dogs, Chutney and Randy, who became instant family members. Betsy lives in Bothell, WA with her husband Eric where they raised two amazing children, Grace and Carl, who both still live and work in the Pacific Northwest. This is Betsy's first book, but she plans to write more stories about Resilient Randy. Visit her website ResilientRandy.com for updates and follow Randy's daily activities on Instagram @sweetblindk9.
