One day, a young girl named Beej, goes out with her dog Buddha Bear to help her neighbor, Miss Monica, find her lost dog Coco. After searching for days, they come across another lost dog who lives in a field behind a factory. This dog is skin and bones and totally afraid of humans. Lost, Found, and Forever, tells what happens to Coco, Beej, and Buddha Bear as they attempt to rescue this South African Mastiff from a life of fear, hunger, and the dark of night. Lost, Found, and Forever is based on the author's true story. Lost, Found and Forever is a perfect read for young and old alike. Those who rescue dogs from pounds, neighbors, and shelters, or for anyone who merely dreams of doing that, will appreciate this tale and be in awe of and appreciation for the time and dedication that Beej and Buddha Bear show in getting their lost dog safe. Lost, Found, and Forever is a classic tale of someone who struggles against overwhelming odds to accomplish what they set out to do. The subtitle, When you make a promise, keep it, is the main underlying theme of the book and is Beej's guiding principle. Tied into this theme is her brother Jimmy's adopted motto, There is no try, there is only do or do not. The activities, actions, beliefs, and motivations of the characters in 'Lost, Found, and Forever make for a compelling read. And maybe even a tear or two. …

About the Author
Leslie loves to make other people radically successful and contributing. In this work she has taken inspiration from nature and animals as the natural and animal world has much to teach us.
Raising Buddha Bear from a puppy and later taking two months to patiently earn the trust of a feral dog required Leslie to use every interpersonal skill and competency she possessed. She would frequently say that her work with her dogs earned her a degree in Emotional Intelligence.
Leslie is a story teller. She believes that life can be the teacher and that stories illustrate the journey of becoming the best person one can become. She writes a regular blog reflecting on everyday experiences that apply to life and work. She is the author of six books that illuminate stories of extraordinary organizations, leadership and working relationships. "Lost, Found and Forever" is her first children's book.
Leslie's family includes: Buddha Bear the Brindle Boxer, Big Boy the South African Mastiff, and the newest additions: Crook the French Bulldog, and Nala the confident rescue kitty. Randy Martin began his career as a television producer-director-writer. He has been awarded a dozen Emmys. Following that ten-year period, he started an advertising agency specializing in marketing supermarkets and was the creator, editor, and publisher of "In The Neighborhood," a local tabloid newspaper that promoted supermarkets and the communities in which they resided.
Eventually his passion turned to books and the web. He became a ghost writer (7 books), an editor, and a book cover and interior designer. His work garnered six Marcom Awards, two Summit Awards, two Ippy Awards, and one Mom's Choice Award.
This is his second co-authoring project with Leslie Yerkes. Together they have worked on six books. The two have 4 more books in the works, with several more in the talking stages.
Randy is a graphic designer, ghost writer & editor (7 books), and book designer with six MarCom Awards, two Summit Awards, two Ippy Awards, and one Mom's Choice Award to his credit. He also has two MarCom awards for web design, and a dozen Emmys as a television producer/director/writer.
