Julian Lorenzana

I was born In San Antonio Matute, Jalisco, Mexico. My father died when I was seven years old. At the age of twelve and a half I came to the U. S. hoping to get a job. Instead, I ended up continuing my education, interrupted in Mexico due to the family's financial situation. I was fortunate enough to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies, a teaching credential and, much later, a Master's Degree in Bilingual Education at San Diego State University. Later, while I was holding a full-time job teaching, I took a correspondence course in children's literature, during which time I wrote four short stories. One of those stories is "Puppy Love". In this story, an old lady dies, leaving her beloved, pregnant dog behind. A family friend's son, Robbie, goes to her house to pick up the dog but finds, instead, three little puppies alone that, apparently, haven't eaten for days. He takes them home where the family intends to nurture them back to health and then put them up for adoption. Robbie's three little sisters have other ideas, though, and the decision to put them up for adoption becomes more difficult for their father. What will happen to the puppies? Will they be adopted or will the three sisters be allowed to keep them? Read the story to find out.
