Open Doors| "Bark Up the Right Tree shines a light on the tragedy of abused animals and the need to give rescue animals a home. Next time I acquire a pet, it will be through a rescue program" (Debra Gaynor, Kentucky reviewer) |
“The Ten Best Things We Can Learn from Our Dogs” Don’t miss this special gift--from our friend, Peggy, who’s a New York Times best-selling author. Her latest motivational book is called “Be a Dog with a Bone.” Great title, isn’t it? She prepared a special audio just for our book launch, so those who purchase my book on October 5th can get the scoop on what it is about us dogs that you humans should be emulating! This is a great complement to the lessons you’ll be learning from my book, “Bark Up the Right Tree, Lessons from a Rescued Dog.” You know what? I think we all have a lot to learn from each other! |
Peggy McColl| "Jessie is intelligent and has a streak of 'doing her own thing.' She has many lessons to share about life, such as 'Make a positive difference. Our contributions, no matter how small, can have huge effects.' or 'Maintain a grateful heart. It attracts happiness like a magnet.' If you're an animal lover, then you will most likely not put her book down once you pick it up."(Charles Ashbacher, Iowa reviewer) |
The Humane Society of the United States has graciously shared their video of singer Patti Page telling why she changed the words from her smash hit “Doggie in the Window” to “Doggie in the Shelter.” It’s a powerful video exposing the shocking truth about puppy mills. As an added surprise, Launch Day (October 5th) purchasers will also get to hear Patti singing her new version of the song! The Humane Society of the United States has been helping animals of all kinds since 1954. Browse their site, www.humanesociety.org, and see what wonderful things they do. They make it easy for Ruth and others to email politicians and sign petitions to fight cruelty and protect the rights of animals. |
Patti Page| This book is well worth the read for so many reasons, one being that ten percent of all proceeds will go to help those in need of loving homes. Other than that very important reason is that this story will grab your heart and not let go. I fell in love with Jessie from the very first page." (Darlene Smoliak, Canada reviewer) |
A Dog Story Joel is our favorite TV preacher. Even my adoptive dad, Hugo (who calls himself an agnostic), loves to watch Joel each Sunday. Joel always has something uplifting and encouraging to say to everyone who listens. As his gift to animal lovers who buy my book on September 14th, Joel is offering a story from his sermon, “God Remembers You.” It’s a story about how God used one of us canines to save a man’s life. The audio you’ll be accessing was copyrighted in 2007 and all rights to it are reserved by Joel, so we use it by permission. If you’d like to purchase this full sermon (#416) on CD, or learn more about Joel, just go to www.joelosteen.com and browse their site. |
Joel Osteen| "My daughter and I have read and re-read Jessie's book--we love it! The story is deeply inspiring and can open people's eyes to the needs of animals waiting for a loving home. Kids especially will learn from this book and enjoy the story told from Jessie the dog's perspective." (Nancy Deren. New Jersey) |
Dog Jokes & Quotes Purchasers of my book will enjoy a 96-page collection of “Dog Jokes and Quotes,” put together by Joan Stewart, our publicity expert who sniffs out good ideas as quickly and efficiently as Bogie, her German short-haired pointer, can sniff out his favorite doggie treat, popcorn! You could buy Joan’s book by visiting her Website, www.PublicityHound.com, but she will give you the book at no charge when you purchase “Bark Up the Right Tree, Lessons from a Rescued Dog” on October 5th. |
Joan Stewart| "Jessie, rescued from a shelter and living with her new family, shares her lessons learned in a whimsical, easy to read style that sheds light on the important issue of abandoned animals. It's a delightful tale that is impeccably edited, formatted for visual appeal, and sure to please animal lovers of all ages." (Donna Aviles, Delaware reviewer and author of "Beyond the Orphan Train") |

Dog Fancy Magazine| "I'm never quite sure what to expect from a book that's written from the animal's point of view, especially one that is non-fiction in nature. Most of them leave something to be desired, but this one [Bark Up the Right Tree] is a winner! (Christine M. Irvin, Ohio reviewer) |
A Launch-Day Discount on the famous “Weiss Walkie “ This is the only leash that Hugo (my adoptive Dad) and I both like. It keeps me close and if I try to stray, it tightens around my body, not my throat. Since we like it so much we asked Dr. Weiss if she would give our book-buying friends a special discount. She agreed, and is offering a 15% discount. She will provide a one-day discount code to be used on her site (www.emilyweiss.com) on October 5th. |
Emily Weiss| Bark Up the Right Tree will grip your attention. It's easy to read; can't put it down. (N.C., 15-year-old California reviewer, Jelly Mom's Children's Book Reviews) |
Make the Rounds with the Star of “Animal Precinct!” Tina Salaks’ book “Paw and Order” is full of great stories about how she saved the day for all kinds of New York City animals and brought cruel humans to justice. You have probably seen her in action on TV, as a real-life patrol officer for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (www.ASPCA.org). Tina knows me personally because she took part in two of our foundation’s annual events: Pets’n’Heroes (which honors heroes like her) and our big tail-wagging extravaganza called Dogfest (www.Dogfests.com). To the buyers of my book, Tina offers the Introduction and a full story from”Paw and Order.” |
Tina Salaks| "Each chapter [of Bark Up the Right Tree] ends with a 'Paws for Lessons Learned.' And there is a photo album at the end. This is a book that all children, especially those who adore animals, will enjoy. I grew up around dogs, so I found the book fascinating." (Wayne Walker, Illinois reviewer, Stories for Children Magazine) |
I love my squeaky bones!
Here's another game we can play! Buy my book and you'll get a chance to win your own squeaky bone--free of charge, thanks to Hartz. The 25 "lucky dogs" will receive an email from me on October 6th and all who buy my book will get a Hartz discount coupon right now. |
| [Jessie's book] is a lot of fun to read as Jessie describes her various quirks, like carrying all her squeaky bones in her mouth at once, the reasons why she wasn't always a model student during obedience class, and [much more]. It's an inspirational book about loving an animal and being loved back." (Deborah Broadhurst, Massachusetts reviewer) |
Staying healthy and active requires exercise, love, and good food. Dr. G recommended this brand of dog food when Ruth adopted me, so for more than three years PURINA ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Senior Formula has been a major part of my diet. I’m an octogenarian in people years, but l look (and act) only half my age! I came to Ruth with pretty ugly teeth, and Dr. G had to remove the plaque. But since then, the crunchiness of this special formula has kept my teeth in tip-top shape. I enjoy this food so much I want you to try it, too. My friends at Purina ONE have agreed to give a free package of Purina ONE pet food to the first 25 people who order my book. Winners will be notified by e-mail on October 6th. |
Why people think I’m half my age!| "I was gratified to find that Jessie, when adopted, was not a young dog, and her story goes to show that people are missing so much when they aways go for the puppy and pass over the older dogs." (Dan Blankenship, Arkansas reviewer) |
My adoptive dad, Hugo, wants to give you something, too: his booklet entitled “Wake Up to Abundant Energy.” It’s filled with practical tips on how to rise’n’ shine before we’re barking and licking your nose! Wouldn’t it be great to be up, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for a nice brisk walk--no matter what the weather? A downloadable pdf of his booklet (which he sells on his www.EnergizingLife.com site) is yours free and with his very best wishes when you buy my book on October 5th. We should listen to Hugo--he’s 81 years old and takes no meds. He pops out of bed early, jogs, works out, and takes me for lively walks! |
Hugo Tschudin| [Bark Up the Right Tree] is a feel-good book for dog lovers--the perfect gift for dog people who can't get enough dog books. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I couldn't help being moved by Jessie's story, even though I've heard dozens of stories of happily adopted dogs." (Dr. Cathy Goodwin, Washington reviewer) |
Ruth, my co-author and adoptive mom, wants you to have something original from her to say “Thank you for buying my book on October 5th.” This is a prayer she wrote called “Bless the Dogs”. Our foundation made it into a bookmark that sells like hotcakes. It asks God to bless all the dogs--the fortunate ones and the needy ones, as well as the people who help to turn the needy ones into fortunate ones. I wish you could hear her say it by heart, with all of her heart. But here’s the next best thing--a bonafide copy you can print out, cut out, laminate, tassel, and enjoy as a bookmark to go with my book! You will receive a printable PDF file. |
Ruth Tschudin| "I found the life lessons both inspirational and enjoyable. A must read for not only dog lovers!" (Grumpy Dan (Karpf), New Jersey reviewer) |
A $2.00 donation to your favorite rescue group or charity. Here’s a gift from me! The best gift of all: the chance to help others. On October 5th only: for every copy of “Bark Up the Right Tree” ordered by you I will give $2.00 (more than 15%) to help your favorite charitable organization. I have been richly blessed because a wonderful shelter, a wonderful rescue group, and a wonderful family gave me a second chance at a wonderful life. Now you and I together can give a helping hand (and paw) to those who need it, as I once did. Just give me the name and address of a recognized charity or 501(c)(3) organization when you claim this gift.
