ABANDONED: Book Event

This past weekend Wonderland Books, located in Bethesda, Maryland, is hosted a book event for my recently released book,  ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs! Four dogs that are included ABANDONED attended: Denny, Minnie, Clooney, and Dreyfuss! It was so wonderful to see these dogs in person, along with there humans, after so much time has passed since starting this project! Additionally, what made this book event unique, is that it included four adoptable dogs via Forever Changed Animal Rescue, complimenting the mission of ABANDONED: raising awareness of the plight of dogs in need, while illustrating the positive impacts of dog rescue for both humans and dogs alike. Importantly, all of the dogs received adoption applications, which is so great! A few images from the book event are shown below!

ABANDONED Book Review: Animal Welfare Institute Quarterly Magazine, Winter 2024

The Winter 2024 issue of the Animal Welfare Institute Quarterly Magazine wrote a lovely book review about my debut book, ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs!

“..[U]sing striking black-and-white imagery . . . Abandoned raises awareness about the benefits of animal adoption. Both the dogs and their adopters experience the restorative power of the human-animal bond, manifested in the magic of everyday moments.”

ANBANDONED Featured: CBS Mornings Plus

As I mentioned, prior to Thanksgiving, Victory and I were on CBS Mornings Plus on Friday, November 29, 2024, and it was so much fun! Victory did an excellent job, and she was so calm and at ease, despite all of the cameras and lights! We are so proud of her, and I am beyond thankful we could do the segment together, as Victory has been by my side, for the bulk of this project, while creating this body of work, even though Biscuit was the inspiration for ABANDONED. (I believe Biscuit has an awareness of everything associated with ABANDONED.) I will never forget this experience at CBS, and what made it even more special, is that our entire family was welcome at the CBS studio! The producer, Erin Rosenblum, was wonderful to work with, and she even gave Alex a tour of the studio, while I got my hair and makeup done—Alex was in heaven! Alex also loved the greenroom! It was a wonderful experience for all, and I am enormously grateful that CBS Mornings, particularly to Jackie Puskas, for featuring my new book, ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs!

Below are a few snapshots from our time at the CBS studio!

Below are a few photos from our New York City visit! Victory made it to Central Park, and she absolutely loved it! Victory was such a champ walking all around Central Park with a big smile on her face! Then she came back to the hotel and took a long nap! Alex had an amazing time, and she now wants to live in New York City! We are so grateful for this special time together!
