Based on a True Story

Meet the real Chief

Before he was a storybook hero, Chief was a senior rescue in a shelter kennel β€” a big, fluffy Gerberian Shepsky (that's German Shepherd + Siberian Husky) that folks kept passing by.

Today he lives free on a real Texas homestead with his family, George & Brenda β€” the "B&G Krajewski" on every cover. He starts each morning with a munchy bone on the front porch, patrols the fence line, keeps the squirrels honest, and teaches his people something new about faith, loyalty, and love pretty much daily.

Every adventure in the Homestead Series begins with the real thing.

Things I Learned from My Dog

Straight from George's porch notebook β€” little lessons Chief teaches without saying a word. A devotional podcast & video series is on its way to this very page.

"There will always be a squirrel."

Distractions come tearing out of nowhere. Stay inside the boundary lines that were drawn in love β€” they're there to keep you safe, not fenced in.

"Follow your nose."

When the storm hits and you can't see the road ahead, use what God gave you. He already equipped you to find the way home.

"Never leave someone behind."

Chief always runs ahead to clear the path β€” then stops and waits until you catch up. Go first if you must. But always wait.

"Your best days are still ahead of you."

You can be in a cage one day and running free the next. Don't let the world label you "just an old dog." God created you for greatness.
