Alice Eloise's Silver Linings: The Story of a Silly Service Dog

Created by Sarah Kathryn Frey

We love looking for silver linings. Why? We believe they can be life changing. I have struggled with serious illness since I was 12 years old. But through those struggles I realized something: I would rather be happy than sad. So I made the decision to look for silver linings every day. The day Alice Eloise and I met was like Christmas morning magic. She immediately became my favorite silver lining. This silly puppy and I grew into a service dog team. We go on grand adventures together anywhere our paws may take us, looking for silver linings all along the way. We get it . . . Oftentimes life isn't easy! We still have tough days - but together we look forward to the silver lining of better days yet to come. Our journey has taught us that it is okay to be unique, that our limitations do not define us, and that a "pawsitive" attitude can make all the difference. That is the heart of our silver lining story. We are so excited to introduce to you "Alice Eloise’s Silver Linings: The Story of a Silly Service Dog."

So what’s next? Right now Kickstarter is processing all of the payments. In the next couple weeks we will be sending out backer surveys to collect mailing addresses and add-on information. I will be sure to post an update when those go out, so stay tuned! And in the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].

Let's Spread More Silver Linings! Announcing Stretch Goal #6 - Plushie Donations
over 5 years ago – Sun, Oct 25, 2020 at 10:23:34 AM

Okay, guys. I am really excited to announce this next stretch goal. It’s a good one!

As of right now we will be donating over 130 books and counting. But why don’t we try to spread even MORE silver linings? If we reach $18,000 (which isn’t so very far away), we will donate 100 PLUSHIES to kids who need silver linings. And for every $100 after that, we will donate 1 more. That’s a lot of silver linings! But we need your help to get there. So spread the word!

We are continually so very grateful for all of your support. We absolutely could not do this without you.

Love and Doodle kisses to you, friends! 🐶💋
