Shiprock & Anchordog: Kindred Spirits by Barbara Johnson. My mom painted Shiprock & Anchordog because she loves to support the project.
Shiprock and Anchordog impart lessons of love, compassion, friendship, and community. The dogs are teachers and adventurers and true friends.
This site and all of its contents are free. Everything here is independently created, produced and published by Shiprock and Anchordog for all ages. You will find no ads or sponsorships, since the dogs have no masters. This world is for everyone to own and expand and enjoy.

We have many collaborators in this project. With the Shiprock & Anchordog live band we transmit the loving energy of the dogs. My visual art friends and I work on creating comics and publishing them, documenting the friendly actions of the dogs. Seana and I run theatre workshops, and students sign up to perform every year, manifesting the adventurous spirit of the dogs.

"My daughter has been obsessed with the Shiprock & Anchordog album since we got it. We've been listening to certain tracks on repeat for literally hours at a time. She has changed her name to Cari, for now." - J. T. , Western MA parent
"Shiprock & Anchordog isn't flashy or loud; it's gentle and sweet and engaging. It's testament to the fact that kids absolutely can appreciate subtle storytelling when it comes from a place of authenticity. It'll be fun to see what they do next." - Bill Childs, of Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child
