The Day I Flew Across the Globe Without My Shadow

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

The True Story Behind “Sauli’s Day Across the Globe”

I remember the weight in my chest the night before I flew to India.

It wasn’t from the suitcases or the endless travel checklist.

It was from Sauli.

Not being able to explain to her why I had to leave.

Not knowing how to prepare her for the days that would follow.

And truthfully—not knowing how to prepare myself.

She wasn’t just a dog.

She was my shadow.

My tornado.

My anchor in all the chaos of life.

And yet, I had to place her in a crate and trust a series of strangers with her journey across the globe.

The guilt? It was sharp.

The anxiety? Sharper.

What if she was scared mid-flight?

What if something went wrong at 30,000 feet?

What if she thought I had abandoned her?

I sat alone on the other side of the world, tears streaming down my face, unable to sleep.

I kept wondering—how was she doing? Was she okay?

You see, Sauli had crate anxiety. She had broken out of nearly every crate we’d ever tried.

She was a Houdini in fur.

And now, she was all alone. In a crate. In the sky. Somewhere above the clouds between continents.

But somehow…

She made it.

My brave little girl made it.

When we finally reunited in India, she looked at me with hesitation for a split second—and then, just like that, she leapt into recognition.

That moment? I’ll never forget it.

That moment became the seed of this book.

Sauli’s Day Across the Planet isn’t just her story—it’s ours.

Told from her point of view, this picture book captures what it might feel like to be separated from the one you love… and the long, brave journey to be together again.

It’s for every child who’s ever missed someone.

For every adult who’s ever cried silently at the airport.

For every pet parent who’s had to say goodbye, even just for a little while.

This is for you.
