Jane McAllen

Jane and Truman Blue are a real-life therapy dog team and a crises response comfort dog team.

Jane has an autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s Disease which she has imparted on Margie Vonn, the human protagonist in the Truman Blue Mystery series.

Jane has a fondness for bi-eyed animals like Truman Blue. Two or her horses have had one blue eye and one brown eye. Her first Siberian Husky was also bi-eyed. (1970). When she saw Truman’s puppy picture on Petfinder, she knew he was the pup she had been waiting for.
