Designed and developed by Little Star Design Studio
Developed from the original D.O.G. children's books co-created by Samantha Meghawry and Steve Shepherd. Samantha is a children's author and resiliency expert with a passion for empowering young people through creativity.
Steve is Co-Author and Online Safety Specialist, and runs Inspiring Joe Ltd. Steve had spent lots of time working in schools, where he kept seeing the same problem: online safety messaging that either talked down to young children or missed them completely.
