The Adventures of 
Hoover the FBI Dog
Open up your doggy doors - here comes Hoover the FBI dog! Hoover is a Black Lab working in the FBI, searching for explosives using his keen sense of smell. Today, however, Hoover has a new mission. He has to briefly part ways with his handler, Joel, because he's been asked to travel the world to meet his fellow service dogs. Join Hoover on his journey and learn about the many dogs that work side by side with humans to create the perfect team. Service dogs are truly man's best friend.  Dogs with jobs!  This was easily one of my favorite projects.

 Take me out to the Braves Game

Follow a family of Braves fans around Turner Field during game day. Read along as they enjoy pre-game festivities, visit Sky Field, watch batting practice, and cheer the home team to victory.  We don't get to see as much of the mascot, which is too bad.
