Dolly’s maternal uncle Bill Owens was the first to encourage her to take her songwriting seriously as a profession.

Dolly felt the same excitement as any other musician hearing their debut single play on the radio. She was only 12 years old when “Puppy Love” was released, and she was overjoyed to hear her voice on the radio for the first time.
