We are a family of authors, as we have all written this book together in a family collaboration. We have been told this book is a memoir, as most of it is true to our family life with our dogs. Luke Monin was the catalyst for this book—he came home from school in 5th grade and said, “Mommy, we are writing a book.” He assigned us all our chapters to write, and we wrote this book as a family.
Luke Monin works in TV and radio as well as continuing to write.
Ethan Monin, at the time this book was originally published, was 5 years old. Now he is grown up and is a computer drafter.

HOW I GOT MY DOGS
How I Got My Dogs is a heartwarming and humorous true story about two lost dogs who find their forever home—and the family that never thought they would have a dog. With a dad who famously declared, “I’m not a dog person,” and two boys dreaming of a furry friend, the odds weren’t in the pups’ favor—until Lucky arrived. Told through the voices of the entire Monin family, this charming memoir celebrates love, laughter, and the unexpected ways dogs change our lives.
