Hello,
First off, I just wanted to say that 'm sorry to hear about your previous experience. If you don't like the final product you shouldn't pay for it in my opinion. I also hold my own work to that statement.
I feel that feedback is essential. I would want you to have the book you want. Not some half-baked version of what you're trying to get across to your intended audience.
I have a talent for story telling, especially when I have a foundation to start with, and it sounds like you have a solid one here that you simply need expanded and cleaned up to your liking, which is the top priority as far as I'm concerned.
I do love animals, dogs especially, and always marvel at the way they're able to interact with humans so well despite being a completely different creature all together. I'm always impressed with the bonds that are formed between people and animals and there's certainly a lot there worth writing about.
I do have some questions about redoing the pictures. I'm wondering what you're looking for specifically in that regard, but that can be discussed later if you are interested in working with me to complete your project.
Regardless, I do hope that this time around you receive the quality of work that you're looking for and are happy with the end result.
Thank you for your consideration,
DTitov
