About the Author

Cathy Schenkelberg

Author Cathy Schenkelberg was inspired to create A Beagle Named Carol during her travels to the Republic of Ireland. Knowing animal testing labs existed, spanning the United States and overseas, Cathy became impassioned about telling the stories of Carol, her rescue – an outcome Schenkelberg wishes for all testing facility animals – and her post-rescue life in freedom. Cathy has captured in these stories the progress of Carol nestled in the beautiful Irish landscape. All of which are reflected in the colorful illustrations by artist and illustrator Peter Bex.
 

Set in the midlands of the Republic of Ireland, this story is based on a true and heartwarming beagle rescue.
