From first-time author, Karl Riemensperger, comes Gunner Gets Lucky! Karl is a U.S. Marine veteran married to his wife Karen since 2009. Together, they have shared a special love for the Labrador Retriever breed, and often volunteer their home as respite for dogs needing help finding a home. Their daily lives and adventures with Gunner are the inspiration for the books. Gunner was special, quickly bonded with their young son, Kaiden, and they wanted to share his story with the world while also supporting rescues who are often in very dire financial straits. Karl quickly got to work writing the first of the series, but the stories didn’t stop there and before they knew it, one book became four and more! Having raised five children, Karl considers himself an expert in reading bedtime stories to children, with lots of practice over the years. Karl wrote the books in this series while thinking of the kind of books he enjoyed reading to his children and with the humor of the child and parent in mind.About Karl Riemensperger
