Her first book, Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog, was a finalist for the 2004 ASPCA Henry Bergh Children's Book Award for Young Adult Fiction. The book chronicles Bullmina's turbulent early years in the 1830's, when she was abandoned on the outskirts of London, then rescued, only to be stolen and forced to fight in the illegal dogfight pits.
Because of the first book's success, Lita Eitner-England started The Bullmina Foundation in 2005 to support animal rescue organizations, promote children's literacy programs, and teach responsible dog ownership. Inspired by her own Bulldog, Tiffy, Ms. Eitner-England's writing reflects the joys of owning Bulldogs as well as some of the very real health problems they face from irresponsible breeding and owner neglect. Ms. Eitner-England is an advocate of animal rescue and adoption, and she also participates in Visiting Author programs at local schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Proceeds from book sales are being donated to animal rescue organizations around the country. For more information about the foundation, please visit www.bullmina.com.view less
