This book offers parents an opportunity to teach their children that there is nothing more rewarding than working hard to achieve their dreams.

The Dog Tales Collection, developed by Patricia A. Brill, Ph.D., is the first collection of books written to help parents start a conversation with their children regarding issues or concerns they may have with their pets. These books help children better understand what happens when their pet or a loved one has cancer; has to undergo surgery, has to stay overnight at the hospital, is bullied, or even dies. Together Patricia and her husband Dino have rescued and adopted Chevron, Boxster, Turbo, Cayman, Carrera, and Porsche Bella, giving them all a second chance!
