There&#8217;s not a beagle to be had in the book. There <em>is\u00a0<\/em>a beagle in my next book, but in case Allie isn&#8217;t around then she wanted a dedication in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cindyprocter-king.com\/Books\/picture_imperfect.html\" target=\"_blank\">PICTURE IMPERFECT<\/a>. And when you&#8217;re a dog of 15, ya\u00a0gets what ya wants. The average age range for a beagle is 12-15, so she kinda feels her work is done.

The Pre-Order\/Early Release pricing of $2.99 USD extends to Friday and will begin going up to $4.99 on the weekend. Amazon, as is their practice, usually keeps the lowest price the longest.
