The Story of Us — Free Sample of Our Personalized Pet Keepsake

Some of the best parts of your life together never made it into a caption.

The place they wait. The toy you recognize in every photograph. The ordinary day you would choose to remember. The Story of Us is a personalized keepsake TOCA is preparing to launch: a short, beautifully designed book built from your own memories and photographs, and checked by you.

Before it opens, you can read a complete free fictional sample: the story of Maya and her small tan dog Milo, told through a second bowl, a yellow tennis ball, a blue door and a balcony at the end of the day.

What you get, free

• The Story of Us: Maya & Milo, a 22-page illustrated sample in PDF (6 x 9 in) and EPUB for e-readers.
• Nine short chapters, a closing letter, and two pages showing how your own photographs and captions would be laid out.
• Delivered by email right after checkout. No payment details are needed for a free order.

Be first when The Story of Us opens

Tick “Email me with news and offers” at checkout and we will tell you when the first pilot places are available. The planned package:

• 20–24 designed PDF pages with a personalized cover and a closing letter in your voice, plus an EPUB
• Up to 12 of your own photographs; one animal and one household story
• One consolidated revision round, with delivery about 10 business days after we receive your complete questionnaire and photos
• Planned pilot price: US$89. Not yet available to order.

Your story stays yours

We clarify or leave out what is unknown. We do not invent your memories, conversations, milestones or your animal's thoughts, and you choose which subjects appear. A book can celebrate an ongoing life together, mark an anniversary, become a gift or remember an animal; the focus is yours.

About the sample

Maya and Milo are fictional. The text was drafted with AI assistance and edited by TOCA; all illustrations and the two photo-layout examples are AI-generated and labeled in the book. They are not customer photographs, orders or testimonials. Digital files only; no printed book is included. English (US). You may share the complete sample, but please don't present it as a real commission or resell it.
