Coup is a stuffed dog with a nose for adventure. The author, his friend and alter ego, has assembled some of these adventures. Whether Coup finds himself crammed into a small cardboard box, falling over the edge of a chair, or in need of serious fur replacement, he has the humor and spiritual common sense to bring any situation to a positive conclusion. The author, Susie, frequently joins Coup in some of his adventures. This collection of stories is a portrait of a loving friendship between Coup, an endearing stuffed dog, and Susie, his sensible friend. Their shared adventures, some suspenseful, some funny, all inspiring, include many expressions of the strong faith which bolsters both of them. The stories, told in Coup distinctive voice, will appeal to anyone who has ever loved a stuffed dog to life. Susan Moger, College Writing Instructor
