“Doc Makes Friends” is the exciting sequal to our first book, “Doc Moves to the Mountains.”

Ashe County author Pam Lather has written a new children’s book entitled ”Doc Makes Friends”.  The book is based on the true story of “Doc”, a 1600 lb. Belgian Draft Horse who moved from the Outer Banks of the North Carolina coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina to improve his breathing. Doc ends up making friends at his forever home at Southern Sun Farm Sanctuary. 

The illustrator, Anna Welsh was a school teacher, and after her retirement she continued working with children and adults to have a creative space to use art as an expressive outlet. She truly brought Doc to life in the book!
