The one-eyed dog that stole the hearts of kids at Quitman Elementary

Based on her experience with a dog she adopted, Kurjan wrote the book: “Bernie the One Eyed Puppy.”

Sally Kurjan is a children’s book author in Ohio. At one time, she called Arkansas home and her parents still live here.

Based on her experience with a dog she adopted, Kurjan wrote the book: “Bernie the One Eyed Puppy.”

It’s the story of a small dog named Bernier, who has a few physical problems. Time and again, people show up and adopt “cuter” dogs; ones without issues. Bernie is always left alone and wanting love.

And that’s all of this story you’re going to get! If you want the rest, buy the book! Or, you could talk to a second grader at Quitman Elementary.
