BE THE PERSON…


“Be the person your dog thinks you are.”

~C. J. Frick~





I did a search for C. J. Frick but couldn't find much on the author. Then I read a short paragraph at this website. It shared a book, "Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are" authored by C. J. Frick and drawings by Liz Donnelly. The name, C. J. Frick, is actually a composite of the names of the book editors. More can be read at the website.

  2. I have heard this quote before, and really like it. So the book editors wrote it and wrote the book, and used this name? How odd!!
