About — Totes The Shiba

About Totes the Dog

Totoro Kang Jovanovski, was nicknamed “Totes” from being toted to so many places in the world. She was born in Nebraska, but spent her most of her life in New York and Paris raised by her human mom Rosanne. Together they had many adventures getting new stamps in their passports and meeting so many kind people along the way. Totes has run with the bulls in Provence, walked on the palace grounds of the Alhambra in Granada, and skied the slopes of Park City, Utah while dodging the paparazzi at Sundance. Totoro had a particular kind of magic that touched everyone she ever met. This book is a tribute to her life and the love she brought to so many, and hopefully to so many more to come.
