Sometimes the quietest friend
hears the loudest hurts
The PuddLe JumpeR is the sweet story of a Golden Retriever in real-life — Madison — a champion athlete and therapy dog. Madison isn’t just any dog, she’s a quiet hero with ears tuned to the softest hurts. Through patience and presence, Madison helps a little girl with her big feelings. The story leads a child on a journey of discovery to remind us that everyone is different and wonderful in their own way.
The PuddLe JumpeR celebrates the healing power of being truly heard and it shines a light on the quiet, life-saving ways dogs support us when words fall short. The story is for anyone who has ever felt "different". With warm illustrations and a message that lingers long after the last page, this story reminds readers that healing often begins with someone who truly listens.
The PuddLe JumpeR is for anyone who needs someone to say, you’re perfect for me.
The PuddLe Jumper - The ReaL DoG
Madison, the Golden Retriever at the heart of this story, is a real dog whose gentle presence made an extraordinary difference to someone who felt invisible, different, and alone. The story is true. The emotional truth behind the story is very real.
Madison is a former Pet Partners® team member and decorated Dock Dogs® champion. She moved through the world with a listening heart — one that understood joy, comfort, and the quiet places where love lives. When her earthly journey grew quiet, she crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is together forever with her two fur-sisters. The love she left behind stays, like a hug that never fades.
This book grew from the quiet power dogs have to comfort us when we’re hurting and to remind us that we matter. Madison represents every dog who has helped someone find their way back to hope. If this story brings comfort or understanding to anyone who has ever felt “different,” then Madison’s legacy shines a little brighter.
The PuddLe JumpeR first came to life as a hardcover book to hold in your hands, flip through, and share during snuggly story time. The out‑of‑print hardcover book has been updated, refreshed, and given a bright new shine in a softcover version. And, just like a clever dog learns new tricks — the story has learned another magical trick — it is also an eBook! eBooks are easy to share and read on your phone, tablet or computer. Best of all, eBooks are ready to reach new readers who never had the chance to discover The PuddLe JumpeR the first time around.
