In an alternate universe, I don’t sit behind a screen writing about a wild, mischievous rescue pup named Sauli. No, in that world, I am the pup.
Yep, four paws, high energy, and no concept of personal boundaries.
In that version of reality, I’m not chasing deadlines—I’m chasing squirrels. I don’t juggle meetings—I’m juggling chew toys, tug ropes, and escape plans from yet another crate setup that absolutely cannot hold me. The world is a wide open park, and every puddle is an opportunity.
But here’s the twist: in that alternate universe, my human—me, in this current universe—is the one picking up after me, trying to keep up with my shenanigans, and somehow still smiling (even after I’ve turned their carefully curated living room into a Jackson Pollock mud painting).
That version of me, the canine version, has one motto: chaos with a side of charm.
Which brings me right back to this universe, where instead of barking, I write books about the very real Sauli who inspired an entire illustrated series—The Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup. We’re now three books in, and the latest one, Sauli and the Great Escape, is probably the wildest ride yet.
It’s the one where the groomer gave up, the daycare called for backup, and Sauli… well, Sauli decided the rules didn’t apply to her.
It’s a tribute to every stubborn, spirited soul who refuses to be tamed—and every human who still chooses love, adventure, and adoption over perfection.
Alternate universe or not, I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. Because in the end, I may not have four paws, but I do have a best friend who does. And she’s shown me how wildly freeing it can be to run, leap, and live with your whole heart—crate escapes and all.
So, if you’re curious what it’s like living with a dog who’s part wolf, part escape artist, and all heart… the books are waiting. Sauli’s got a few secrets to share.
