Otto Made Me Say That Image of Otto and book name

The official “Otto-biography” of a very good dog.

Hi, I’m Otto! My book, Otto Made Me Say That! tells the story of how went from scruffy street pup to finding my forever home. It’s the perfect read-aloud for ages 3–7. Little humans laugh and learn empathy, big humans cry (the good kind), and early readers feel confident reading along with me. All that from one story?! Amazing!

Most important? Every book sold through February 2026 helps my furry friends still waiting for their families. All profits go directly to my friends at Companion Pet Rescue! Pretty amazing, right?!

Helping Little Readers Grow Big Hearts

I may be adorable, but I’ve got a big message for kids: kindness matters. When readers follow my journey from lonely street pup to a loved-and-snuggled friend, they learn how empathy can change a life! This story helps grown-ups spark meaningful conversations about feelings, compassion, and caring for all creatures. If you want a read-aloud that makes kids giggle and grow kinder, I’m your pup!

Book cover titled "Otto Made Me Say That!" featuring a photo of a small white dog with dark eyes and nose, set against a bright blue, white, and pink background with yellow accents.

My book is great for…

Ages 3–5: Kids love sound play, silly words, and audience participation. Good for bedtime or classroom read-alouds.

Ages 6–7: Early readers can start reading it themselves, enjoying the humor and understanding Otto’s clever comments.

My Big Mission

Now that you know more about my book, I want you to know more about my mission.

I’m one lucky pup. But there are thousands of dogs still waiting for their forever homes.

That’s why part of every book sale goes to local rescues and shelters who help dogs like me find families to love (and lick).

When you buy my book, you’re helping dogs find their happy place!

So…thank you. (I would lick your face if I could.)
