Alexandra Day is the author and illustrator of Good Dog, Carl and the rest of the beloved Carl books, including Carl Goes Shopping , Carl's Christmas , Carl's Birthday and Carl's Snowy Afternoon . The Darlings' own dog, a Rottweiler named Toby, was the original model for the main character of Good Dog, Carl . Since then, two other Darling Rottweilers have posed as Carl in the sequels: the late Arambarri, who was named for one of the Darlings' favorite jai alai players; and Zabala, who currently moonlights as an Our Best Friend therapy dog, visiting hospitals to cheer patients.
