2013 Winner of the Indie Readers Discovery Award! "DOGS HAVE ANGELS TOO reveals what these four-legged creatures give to us, which hopefully will unlock the hearts of the unfamiliar to shelter." -- Barbara Mcree, CEO of Mutt Madd-ness No-Kill Rescue In this novel set in the dog-eat-dog world of recessionary New York City, the irrepressible Miss Pink leads a pack of down-on-their-luck women who ultimately find hope in the most unlikely of places: an over-crowded animal shelter, where unwanted pets are routinely abandoned to their grim fates. Miss Pink, a former marketing executive and divorcee who is intermittently homeless herself, makes it her mission to find homes for a growing bevy of cuddly canines. Her "adoption walks" bring her to meet a series of fellow New Yorkers, all of whom are struggling with their own personal and financial crises. In other words, they are all uniquely ripe for recruitment in Miss Pink's master plan- which she's devising on the fly, by the seat of her favorite pink pants! "Miss Pink's passion for her two-legged and four-legged friends in an affirming message of love, will and triumph. May we all find our own heart of Miss Pink." - Cynthia Chauvin Miles, author of The 10 Ways to Get and Keep Your Man DOGS HAVE ANGELS TOO is fun, quirky read, dedicated to people who wish to redefine their lives by helping animals in need. A heart-warming comedy of errors for dog lovers of the twenty-first century. . . A percentage of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to animal shelter and rescue organizations.

I talked my sister into letting me help her write this book because I knew it would take a lot of work to get it the way she wanted it. There are quotes here from people whose dogs were acting out and driving them loony. These desperate owners called Eileen because she is well known in these parts or because their veterinarian or a friend recommended her. She jumps in her blue jeep and drives to their house. She evaluates the dog and the owner. It’s usually the owner’s fault I’ve discovered. She tells them, “This is a very cool dog. He’s awesome. We can get him straightened around in no time.” The relief they feel is huge. I’ve seen Eileen turn out of control dogs into angels in seconds. After some basic obedience training the dogs and the owners often attend an “agility” or “therapy dog” class taught by Eileen. The dogs are excited and happy to be there with the other dogs. It’s like camp or a festival. The owners fall in love with their dogs again. The dogs, of course, always love their owners, no matter what. Amazing creatures. Everyone should read this book. You should especially read it before you get a dog so you know exactly what’s involved. I’m not only talking to the adults I’m talking to the kids too.
