About Old Paws Tales

Old Paws Tales is a small storytelling project about the bond between dogs and the people who love them — especially the hard part of that bond: the waiting. A dog lost in a snowstorm. A dog who finds the railway line he walked every morning for nine years. A dog who comes home wearing a stranger’s kindness around her neck. These are the stories we tell.

What we publish

Short, true-hearted reunion and waiting stories, first released as narrated short films on our Facebook page, and collected here in written form so they can be read, shared, and kept.

An honest word about how the stories are made

Our stories are dramatized retellings. They are written by our team in the tradition of fireside dog stories — shaped for telling, with scenes and details rendered as a storyteller renders them. The artwork that accompanies them is AI-illustrated, and our films are narrated with the help of modern voice tools. We say this plainly because we believe a good story does not need to pretend to be something it is not: what is true in every tale we tell is the thing they are all about — dogs do wait, dogs do find their way, and people do leave the light on.

Who runs Old Paws Tales

Old Paws Tales is run by a small independent team of dog lovers and storytellers based in Nova Scotia, Canada. We write, illustrate, narrate, and publish every story ourselves. You can reach us any time through our Contact page.
