New Children’s Book Honors Two Brittany Bird Dogs and the Bond Between Them

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Rik Combs has released a new children’s book, "The Adventure of the Two Brittanys: Amy and Lily’s Big, Sparkly Journey," inspired by two actual Brittany bird dogs—a mother-daughter pair—whose inseparable lives together shaped this narrative. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing and is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.

The story follows Amy and Lily as they explore the world together, and according to the announcement, centers on themes of unconditional love, friendship, and the small moments shared between pets and the families who love them. Combs has said he wrote the book both to encourage children to read and to honor the memory of the two dogs, whose personalities he describes as having brought his family considerable joy.

Combs is a retired United States Air Force officer and a combat veteran who leads Baron AG, a company based in Gainesville, Florida. He grew up on a cattle farm and studied at the University of Alabama, a background the announcement credits with shaping his interest in loyalty, hard work, and animal companionship as storytelling themes. Combs currently resides in Cole County, Missouri, alongside his family members Jill and Ilse.

"I wanted to create a story that would inspire children to read while honoring the memory of Amy and Lily, whose spirited nature brought so much joy to our family," Combs said. "Through their eyes, I hope young readers will discover the magic found in everyday moments and the importance of companionship."

Studio CarryOnHarry finds the strongest thread here to be the author’s own path from military service to storytelling, and we’ll be curious whether Combs continues writing in this vein for future projects.
