Bøker av Regina Long Southall

As a young child growing up, I always had a love for dogs and considered those I have been around for a given period of time my best friends. That love was carried over to my adult years without hesitation. Children will appreciate knowing the love and companionship a dog can give them. As far back as 1953, I give thanks to Bob Merrill and Patti Page. Bob Merrill wrote the lyrics to the song "The Doggie In The Window" and Patti Page sang the song. This song has been a part of me for years. I received my first dog when I was in first grade. From my experience as a youngster, a dog is truly man''s best friend.

Literary composition has always allowed me to express myself:The best exercise is bending down to help someone else up so that he or she becomes successful too. In doing so, this makes a true friendship. That gift of friendship makes the journey through life easier. I encourage everyone to follow your dreams, regardless of what people say, perceive or assume.Regina Long Southall is a native of Portsmouth, Virginia.
