Lucy Goosey, Where Are You? started because a stubborn Basset Hound, named Lucy, escaped her home and decided to live on the streets of West Knoxville for four days.

The situation snowballed into an entire children’s book series where we can follow Lucy on her adventures, some big and some small. The series begins with an adventure with her brother Duke as they embark on a fast-paced, rhyming adventure.

There are several more adventures to come, with Lucy’s next adventure coming Fall 2025. In this book, Lucy spends the day at the 8u Mighty Mites girls’ hockey championship with her sister Piper as they battle the Lady Blizzard.
