Lisa Mullins, host of All Things Considered, joins author Scott DeLisi and illustrator Jane Lillian Vance to discuss their new book, "The Ambassador’s Dog."

About "The Ambassador's Dog"

"The Ambassador's Dog" is a story of the power of serendipitous meetings, the power of dreams and the power of hope. It tells the tale of a puppy, abandoned and alone, who waited on a trail in what once was the ancient kingdom of Lo on the Tibetan plateau. And it's the tale of the man who was meant to cross his path. It's more than just another dog story, though. It's an important reminder, at a difficult time, that there is compassion and courage and hope to be found in the world if only our hearts are open to seeing them.

Scott DeLisi served United States goverment for almost 35 years as a diplomat, capping his career representing President Barack Obama as the U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal from March 2010 to July 2012 and as American Ambassador to the Republic of Uganda from 2012 - 2015. Currently, Ambassador DeLisi is the Executive Director of Engage Nepal, a charity dedicated to helping the people of Nepal as they strive to build a stronger, safer, and more resilient future.

Jane Lillian Vance calls her work “painted essays.” Her highly detailed, narrative oil paintings allude to traditional cultures’ forms of pilgrimage, medicine, ornament and reverence. Her award-winning 2010 documentary, "A Gift for the Village," about taking her Dalai Lama-sanctioned painting from her home in Virginia to the west of Nepal, was narrated by Lisa Mullins.
