At the 2007 Licensing Show Gilded Dog Enterprises introduced Cookie Paws, the first book in a children's series, which brings together a mix of timeless, ever-popular elements: the beloved Golden Retriever, the intoxicating aroma of cookies, and an overarching theme of enduring sweetness. The message is pure, simple and universal.

The Cookie Paws series brings interaction between two golden retrievers and children, delivering engaging entertainment, while offering meaningful life lessons that will help young readers face some of their everyday challenges and experiences.

The first book was made available to the public on June 1, 2007. The next book in the series, titled Cookie Paws/Spreadin' the Sweetness, will be available June 1, 2008. Marketing support for the books have been through websites (see www.cookiepaws.com and www.gildeddog.com), Radio Disney, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Borders, independent bookstores, libraries, children's and specialty shops, and veterinarian offices. Additional support has been provided by Greenleaf Book Group for marketing and Baker & Taylor, BCH and Ingram for distribution.

Gilded Dog Enterprises will be introducing their new book, Cookie Paws/Spreadin' the Sweetness, at the International Licensing Show at the Javits Center in New York, June 10-12, 2008. Licenses are available for children's apparel, toys, pet products and home d&ecute;cor. Please visit Cookie Paws at Booth #4380 and meet the author of this wonderful new property.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book is donated to the Humane Society.
