NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller Susannah Charleson works as a search specialist with her K9 partner, a Golden Retriever named Gambit, for a U.S. search-and-rescue team and research group focusing on the special-needs missing. Charleson was also formerly the Executive Director of Possibility Dogs, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and training homeless dogs for service and therapy work. Established and licensed in Texas, Possibility Dogs, Inc. ceased operation in 2022, when Charleson began planning to move from the state. Charleson's first book, SCENT OF THE MISSING: LOVE AND PARTNERSHIP WITH A SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010), was optioned for television in 2010. Her second book, THE POSSIBILITY DOGS: WHAT A HANDFUL OF "UNADOPTABLES" TAUGHT ME ABOUT SERVICE, HOPE, AND HEALING (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) releases in June 2013. WHERE THE LOST DOGS GO: A STORY OF LOVE, SEARCH, AND THE POWER OF REUNION (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019) follows Charleson's work training a dog specifically to find lost pets. A collaboration released July 2025--THE CHANCELLOR'S MANSION: A STORY OF FAMILY, HOME, HISTORY, AND MYSTERY, Jamie Arty with Susannah Charleson (Andscape, 2025), follows the true story of a family of color who purchase a dilapidated mansion at risk of demolition, intent on restoring it for their family home. Adventures--and misadventures--ensue. Along the way, they discover the powerful history behind the house and the abolitionist who built it, a man whose name and contribution to freedom had almost been lost to time. If she's not "beside a dog, somewhere," Charleson -- a commercial pilot and flight instructor -- hopes she's exploring, either airborne in her Piper Archer or at the keyboard on a new book.
