Helena, MT, March 25, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Ann Melvin, who resides in Helena, Montana, with her husband, where she loves to spend time outdoors, has completed her new book, “Adventures with Our Dog Nelson”: a riveting true account that follows the many wonderful tales of the author’s family dog and the special place he held in their hearts.
Melvin begins her tale, “We are a family of four who have always had a dog. When the boys, Matt and Kyle, were in fourth and fifth grade, we lost our beloved German shepherd, Allie, to old age. After a few months of grieving, we were ready to commit to another dog. As a family, we agreed to adopt a smaller-sized dog.
“The boys and I visited the Lewis & Clark Humane Society. When we entered the building, we were greeted by lots of kittens and cats in crates. We were there to look at puppies. The only puppy that was of adoption age was a funny little guy whom the staff had named Nelson. He was a black Lab cross, and he was so tiny that he was in a cat cage. He had a white heart on his chest. The boys were instantly in love with the little guy. We adopted Nelson that day. On the ride home, we commented that Nelson was a different name, especially because our last name is Melvin. We never changed his name. Somehow, that was the perfect name for our puppy.”
