Book Signing / Meet the author: Lisa Loeb
Lisa Loeb is a journalist who writes
extensively for magazines and newspapers on her experiences with dogs and
dog-related issues. She is also a dog trainer and former equestrian. Lisa is known
as the Extreme Dog Lover.
Dogs are ambassadors to the world and our own local communities.
They come to serve and love us as only they know how. Accompanied by 175 color images,
discover the remarkable connection between dogs and humans through the
inspiring stories of 24 dogs and the owners whose lives they have made better.
Meet Paddington, the official greeter at Thorncroft Equestrian Center, and
Cody, a search and rescue dog. Learn the story behind Pals for Life, an organization
that provides therapy animal visits, and Francisvale, a safe haven for abandoned
dogs. The stories range from service dogs that make life easier for those in
need to much-loved household pets that offer love and companionship each day
for family members. Dog lovers everywhere will delight in these wonderfully
witty and entertaining stories.
