Birtha Blacktail

By: Steven Doornbos

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Birtha Blacktail isn’t your average hunting dog. In fact, she’s not much of a hunting dog at all—unless snoring in the sun and philosophizing from the porch count as skills. She’s big, she’s loyal, and she’s got just enough brainpower to wag when necessary. Alongside her 14-year-old human, Jason, Birtha proves that life doesn’t have to be fast-paced or fancy to be downright extraordinary.

Set in the quiet rhythms of rural life, this heartwarming and hilarious tale explores friendship, loyalty, lazy afternoons, and the occasional wild adventure (reluctantly participated in, of course). From interrogating Jason’s first date to protecting the family chicken coop (eventually), Birtha teaches us that even the laziest soul can be a hero when it truly matters.

Perfect for readers who love small-town stories, quirky animals, and a good laugh followed by a tear, this is a front-porch tale for the whole family.
