Rhode Island SCPA President Featured in New Dog Book
Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 1, 2008
– Riverside’s E. J. Finocchio, DVM and Marvin, a disabled dog from the Rhode
Island SPCA, have transformed the dog’s tail into a paintbrush and received
much recognition for it (www.marvinfund.org). Dr. Finocchio says, “The
sale of MarvArt and the children’s book that I wrote about this remarkable dog
provide funds for our nonprofit organization’s mission of offering medical
services that enable elderly and sick people to keep their pets.” The story of
how Dr. Finnochio adopted Marvin and teamed with him to visit nursing homes,
hospitals, and schools, where people need the image of hope for second chances,
is featured in a new book, Angel Dogs with a Mission:
Divine Messengers in Service to All Life by authors, Allen and Linda
Anderson (New World Library, October 1, 2008). The book is a collection of
twenty true stories about dogs who found their purpose in life and gave without
expecting a return.
Dr.
Finocchio is president of the Rhode Island SPCA where Marvin serves as resident
artist and friendly host.
Allen
and Linda Anderson are founders of the Angel Animals Network
(www.angelanimals.net), inspirational speakers, clergy members, and authors of
the award-winning Rescued: Saving Animals from Disaster as well as nine
other books in the popular Angel Animals series. Marc Bekoff, PhD, professor
emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, wrote in the foreword for Angel Dogs with a Mission: “This book will
change your life and the lives of those with whom you share it.”
As
with the hugely popular Marley & Me, dog lovers will be inspired and
entertained by the dramatic human-and-dog journeys in this new book. The
amazing stories provide laughter, proof that miracles are possible, and tears
-- the good kind.
Amelia
Kinkade, author of Straight from the Horses Mouth, says, “This book is a
tribute to the fact that many of our most effective doctors, nurses,
therapists, police officers, emotional counselors, rescue workers, and
spiritual teachers have four legs instead of two.”
