Philadelphia
Author Featured in New Dog Book
Minneapolis,
Minnesota, November 1, 2008 – Gail C. Parker’s perceptive Irish setter,
Renegade, was among the first dogs to a loving and joyful presence to
Philadelphia nursing home residents. Parker says, “As if aware of the
sacredness of his mission, on his own volition, Renegade began each session
with a visit to the facility’s chapel.” The story of how dog magazine writer,
Parker, and Renegade became a healing team for an area nursing home 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.
Parker
lives with her fourth Irish setter, Katie, and four cats, all from rescue
groups and her husband, Carl, in their Philadelphia home that is part of what
she calls “an old neighborhood where all the neighbors know each other.”
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.”
