Our Story

 The Bradykin series follows the life and times of the Downing Family's prized Coton de Tulear. 

Hello, my name is Susan Downing and I am the proud author of the Bradykin series. Small-town values...family traditions...happy memories: this is what I have tried to capture in my books. It's a simple fact that kids want to be happy, but that happiness is not always found in expensive family vacations or the latest gadget. Rather, it's found in the everyday events that reinforce your family values and create memories. Those memories will last forever, and that's what really counts. 

Bradkyin -- like many family pets -- brings purpose, fun and child-like perspective to every day. It's my goal to preserve the everyday memories that have formed the basis of my family through traditions that I hope mirror yours in many ways. 

What makes the Coton so special? They're a beautiful breed that's openly affectionate, fun loving, easy to train and eager to please. Their adorable personalities captivate all kinds of families, providing companionship and undying loyalty. They are intelligent and even try to "communicate" with their owners. In fact, it really seems as if the Coton is really listening to what you have to say! They thrive on love and attention, get along with kids and other animals, and make wonderful companions for anyone of any age. 

We chose Bradykin for all these reasons and more, and we hope you enjoy following the inspiring tales of our beloved pet. Bradykin has become an important part of our family traditions, and we are happy to pass on those family traditions to you!
