Randy Rupert was raised in Montana and has spent years working in business sales and marketing. But no deal has ever compared to the experience of writing his first book and creating a lasting memory for his son and daughter.

When his son was 3, Randy created the "Dog Story" to help teach him the importance of staying with his parents in a way he'd understand. His son's love of the story is what drove Randy to recreate it in print. Randy hopes it will help other parents teach a valuable lesson while having fun with their children like he did with his son.

Robert Rath is a book designer, illustrator, and teacher living in Bozeman, Montana. Although he has worked with Scholastic Books, Lucasfilm, and The History Channel, his favorite project is keeping up with his family.
