Author Susan Hartzler is an award-winning writer, seasoned blogger, savvy Public Relations Consultant, and a dog friendly travel writer. She is also the creative force behind two thriving online shops: “Seven for President” and “Dog Travel Gear.” But perhaps her most defining role? A die-hard dog lover.

In 2021, Susan’s first book, "I’m Not Single I Have a Dog: Dating Tales From The Bark Side," was published by McFarland Publishing. Now, she's gearing up for her next McFarland release, "The Peace Puppy: A Memoir of Caregiving and Canine Solace," slated for later this year and is busy working on her next project with the same publisher, delving into the world of therapy dogs.

But it's not all about work for Susan. She's also deeply connected to her two Australian Shepherds, Seven and Paige Turner, who join her as a certified Therapy Dog team. Her Aussies are also professional actors and models represented by LePaws agency. Together, they embody the perfect blend of work and play, enriching their lives and the lives of those they touch with their boundless energy and unwavering devotion. Woof!
