“His legs are too short! ... His head is too big! ... He is simply not built to jump!”

Soren the French Bulldog is an unlikely champion in the athletic sport of dog agility, or so many people think. But Soren has something that his critics can’t readily see: belief in himself. With that, and the support of his friend Deb, Soren sets out to prove that champions come in all shapes and sizes.

Soaring Soren is an inspiring true story about pursuing a dream. Soren is irresistible and determined. His quest for an agility championship is exciting. But most endearing is the love and trust between Deb and her dog. It is sure to melt the hearts of children and adults alike.

In Soren's honor, a portion of the proceeds from this book will go to a charity that rescues French Bulldogs in need.
