A rising animal communicator shares the heart and soul of the canine world

June 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Meet Maggie, a sweet, sensitive girl, who manages to escape a life of unthinkable cruelty, only to be hit by a car. Annika, gentle and as soft as a bunny, is left, starving and alone, to scrounge for scraps in the streets. And dear pint-sized Patience and Eve, both of them pregnant and abandoned, seem to have little choice but to linger on death row.

These are just a few of the dogs who readers will meet—and fall in love with—in Finding Forever: The Dogs of Coastal German Shepherd Rescue (CreateSpace, 2011, $13.00), a heartwarming collection of short stories chronicling the hope, faith, and courage of 26 extraordinary German Shepherds in search of their forever homes.

Yet, there is more to Finding Forever than meets the eye, says author Dobie Houson, an up-and-coming animal communicator who, with more than a decade of training and experience, uses her gift to bring the very hearts and souls of these 26 special canines to light.

“In every story, we learn what each dog really thinks and feels and what message he or she is here to share with us whether it be about unconditional love, forgiveness, or simply the power of friendship and its ability to lift us up when all seems lost,” she says. “Animals can teach us many life lessons but, first, we must open ourselves up to their wisdom.”

Houson, a tireless crusader in raising money and awareness for animal rescue, will donate a portion of all proceeds from Finding Forever to Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, an all-volunteer non-profit public charity that finds loving homes for abandoned German Shepherds in Southern California. The book is available now at Amazon.com and other online booksellers and at FindingForever.org.
