Happy Trails, Mr. Pish

This week marks the passing of Mr. Pish; the intrepid traveling terrier of children’s literature, mascot of Indies Unlimited, and cherished companion of award-winning author and photographer K.S. Brooks.

In his travels, he visited 41 States, the District of Columbia, and  seven provinces of Canada. He swam in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans as well as 3 of the Great Lakes, and The Mississippi and St. Laurence Rivers.

In 2011, Mr. Pish was selected by Fido Friendly Magazine as One of the “Top 50 in the World of Dogs.”

He was a champion of outdoor learning and literacy, with six titles to his credit, and more to come. His books are being used in schools in the United States, United Kingdom, and Mexico.

Mr. Pish was also the only canine candidate for President in 2012, and the only one endorsed by Indies Unlimited.

For such a small dog, he cast a long shadow and touched many lives. He leaves a great legacy. We encourage you to check out Mr. Pish’s books and to buy one for a child you know to share in the tradition of outdoor learning and literacy.

Happy Birthday Mr. Pish

Today, the adorable and adventurous traveling terrier, Mr. Pish, turns 16 in people years. That’s 144 in dog years, if you didn’t want to do the math. Mr. Pish is one of Indies Unlimited’s mascots – not only because he’s so flippin’ cute, but because he’s the poster dog for outdoor learning and literacy.

Mr. Pish’s books are used in elementary schools all over the world. He gets kids reading, and adults, too, and we think that’s pretty important. So, we asked Mr. Pish what he wanted for his birthday, and he said “treats.” We said, “Mr. Pish, you get treats every day. Wouldn’t you like something a little different for your special day?” Those cute little brown eyes shifted. We could tell he was thinking. His flopped over right ear spiked up for a moment, then went back down into its trademark position. “Why yes,” he nodded, “There is something I would like.” We imagined it would be steak or cake, or possibly steak and cake. “I would like,” he paused, waiting to make sure he had our full attention, “I would like… someone to rewrite the Theme from Shaft to be the Theme for Pish.” And we made it so.

Mr. Pish: Chipmunk Hunter

Mr. Pish is the honorary mascot here at Indies Unlimited. Sure, he’s lovable. He’s also all business when it comes to dealing with interlopers.

The job takes more than being adorable and keep the minions out of the kitchen while the gruel is cooking.

Here is a video of him using his special ops training to keep a dangerous predator at bay.
