About Mr. Higgins:

In 2014, the authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a black Scottish terrier who was a shy, nervous, and somewhat suspicious mid-life rescue dog. “Mr. Higgins” (the fitting name he came to us with) gradually emerged from his shell and enjoyed his new life in his forever home. Still, on guard with most strangers, Mr. Higgins learned to return love while protecting his home and keeping his dads to their daily routines. Not a fan of pats on the head, “Higgins” prefers a light touch on his sides and burrowing into a safe space. He loves walks, other dogs, treats, and – as a born outfielder – plays fetch.

David John Preece (co-author) has had many productions of his award-winning plays and screenplays performed, including Charles Dickens’Ghost Stories, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The House of the Seven Gables, Tender, According to John, Last Gleaming, The Story of Ruth, The Trial of Edward Coles, and The Unicorn from the Stars. His screenplay, More Than a Friend, will soon be made into a major motion picture. He serves as a member of the New Hampshire State House of Representatives.Jim Webber (co-author) is the co-author of the original holiday musical Judy’s Scary Little Christmas published by Samuel French Plays.
