Our story is featured in this book recommended by Oprah's O Magazine.  A great gift for all your women dog loving friends! I would be happy to autograph our story in the book, along with a pawtograph from Frankie.

From back cover:  When the nurturing nature of women meets the loyalty and unguarded affection of dogs, remarkable connections ensure.  You'll be entertained, inspired, and moved by shelter dogs, police K-9's, dogs rescued from hurricanes and dog fighting service dogs helping returning veterans, prison inmates who train service dogs, and everyday mutts who transform lives just by providing and exuberant welcome at the end of the day.

Almost Perfect: Disabled Pets and the People
Who Love Them by Mary Shafer

The first book of its kind to focus solely on stories about disabled pets and their human companions.

Everyone loves a story about well-muscled retrievers barreling after thrown balls or elegant, longhaired cats commanding the attention of all in a room. But what about those less fortunate companion animals, whose experiences have robbed them of the wholeness of their “perfect” pet peers? After all, it’s easy to be happy when life has been safe, kind and protected, but it takes a special kind of critter to triumph over brutal circumstances that would make most people give up. In Almost Perfect, eleven writers share true tales of courage, ingenuity, perseverance and inspiration on the part of companion animals that have become disabled either through hereditary/congenital conditions or injury. Meet Simon, a three-legged barn cat whose indomitable spirit and unquenchable purr propels him through an unbelievable string of difficulties. And Cagney, a paraplegic rat who serves as muse to a surprised grad student. Then there’s Pink, a Mexican Hairless dog with remarkable healing powers.

You may laugh, you may cry, but you’ll certainly never forget these heartwarming stories of animals who have overcome physical limitations to live happy, productive lives that enrich those of their human companions.
