Follow Colby, the one-eyed beagle with a nose for gems and a heart full of wonder.
Meet Colby, a cheerful beagle with a big heart and a curious nose for adventure! When his nose leads him to a round, rattling rock, Colby's imagination takes off. Could it be a dinosaur egg? A rock from the moon? Or something even more magical?
With help from his friends and his trusty microscope, Colby discovers that every rock has its own hidden sparkle waiting to be found. Join him on this educational adventure about friendship, discovery, and the treasures beneath our feet.
Perfect for little explorers, Colby the Gemologist celebrates the joy of learning, the beauty of science, and the magic of seeing the world in a brand-new light.
This story was inspired by a real-life senior rescue beagle named Colby.
After being diagnosed with glaucoma and losing vision in one eye, Colby had his right eye removed to help him feel more comfortable. Once he healed, he was back to his happy self: full of energy, a big appetite, and always ready for a walk. At one of his check-up visits, a photo of Colby sparked the idea for this inclusive, educational tale about the sweet one-eyed beagle his family loved so much.
