At first glance, Schmeichel looks like the perfect dog. He's adorable, affectionate, and always manages to charm everyone he meets. People stop in the street to admire him and comment on what a delightful little dog he is.
But Schmeichel has a secret.
Behind those bright eyes and impressive schnauzer eyebrows is a mischievous rascal who loves muddy puddles, stolen treats, and getting into all sorts of trouble. Whether he's pinching food, investigating things he shouldn't, or finding the smelliest places possible to roll around in, Schmeichel's adventures are guaranteed to leave children laughing from beginning to end.
Inspired by a real-life Miniature Schnauzer, Have You Met Schmeichel the Schnauzer? is a playful and engaging story that celebrates the joy, chaos, and unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives.

As part of The Narrative Factor®'s commitment to creating stories that inspire curiosity and discovery, this book also includes child-friendly facts about schnauzers, helping young readers learn more about this intelligent and energetic breed.
Perfect for children who love animals, dogs, and stories full of fun, laughter, and heart, Schmeichel's first adventure is one that families will enjoy reading again and again.
Join Schmeichel on his first unforgettable adventure and discover why sometimes the naughtiest dogs are the most lovable of all. 🐾
“When Catherine shared her dream of publishing the adventures of Schmeichel, I knew these stories deserved to find their way into the hands of young readers. Inspired by her own mischievous schnauzer, the Schmeichel the Schnauzer series captures the humour, warmth, and playful spirit that make childhood stories so memorable. This is a delightful, fun read and a lovely present for kids and grandkids alike.”

Our work is more than publishing books — it’s a project in healing, dialogue, and cultural renewal.
We never set out to be publishers; it began with a single conversation that became an unexpected book. Stories kept arriving, and soon The Narrative Factor® Publishing Co. was born. Today, we remain deliberately small, unapologetically personal, and profoundly human. In a world of AI-generated sameness, we still believe in hand-crafted storytelling. Every book is nurtured by real editors, designers, and strategists who know your name, honour your story, and carry it from draft to finished work.
