Susan Joyce writes about life on Maggie’s Farm in Foster, R.I. with dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. She recently published a children’s picture book called Billy the Rescue Dog, about Billy, the Treeing Walker Coonhound she and her wife adopted in late 2019. While Billy’s story was the first to unfold as a children’s book, there’s been some grumbling among the other animals, so they might have their own books someday.
