We celebrate Norbert.

Norbert, who was a real 3-pound mixed-breed therapy dog, inspired people of all ages with his belief that "you don't need to be big to make a BIG difference in the world." Beloved by more than 2 million social media fans worldwide, Norbert fulfilled his mission for nearly 16 years to encourage kindness and compassion. Learn More

We touch hearts.

The spirit of Norbert is very much alive each time someone makes another smile. We celebrate Norbert’s legacy by continuing this work through our writing, creative pursuits, and social media. The award-winning and best-selling books we created are treasured for their uplifting messages, inspiring stories, and beautiful imagery. Norbert publications have become keepsakes that are read time and again by all ages. We imagine exciting new ways to uplift, inspire and touch the hearts of others. Learn More

We bring you hugs.

We are grateful for the continuing affection of Norbert’s followers who we lovingly call “The Norberthood.” Over the years, the Norberthood has supported our kind-hearted work. We’ve created cuddly Norbert plush toys as well as colorful hard enamel pins as sweet symbols of care and compassion. We have shared Norbert’s story through countless presentations and appearances. Norbert’s plush toy is currently sold out. Please join our plush toy Wait List here if you want to be notified of future availability. 

We Bring You Cheer.

We at Polly Parker Press believe in giving back. We support numerous philanthropic causes through in-kind and monetary donations, as well as advocacy work. Julie & Norbert volunteered as a registered pet therapy team visiting those in need for over a decade.
