OTHERS HAVE SAID

Holly Cornwell, Editor of "The Royal Spaniels" magazine has written a review of "A Story of a Promising Puppy" for the Winter, 2011 issue! Click here to read her book review.

"The Royal Spaniels" is internationally recognized as the premier magazine for
Cavalier King Charles and English Toy Spaniel fanciers.

A charming rhyming read about a delightful Cavalier puppy that will enchant children and their parents, too! Beautifully illustrated, its message of love proves nurturing is its own reward."
-Patricia V. Trotter, breeder, judge, author, Vin-Melca Norwegian Elkhounds

Upcoming tears when reading. It's in fact not a story about a puppy, but more a life-lesson about the true value in life.
-Hans Boelaars, Lamslag Cavaliers

This sweet story brings into focus the most important aspect of one's relationship with any pet: they give you all their love, but they need, and deserve, some of the same in return. The rest works itself out.
-Carolyn Stigler Managing Director, Cavalier Rescue, USA www.cavalierrescueusa.org

This delightful little story is a must read for any breeder who has sold a puppy hopeful to a promising family. The lesson of the tale is one of hope and inspiration for those disappointing times when things don't quite go as planned. The author reminds every dog lover that even in the most dire of circumstances, faith in divine providence and trust in the wisdom of the invisible hand are the things that truly bring about the perfect home for the dogs that mean so much to us.
-Tracie Laliberte, Ph.D. ABD, AKC judge, professional writer, dog enthusiast

As I read the story (being a pastor), I couldn't help seeing it as a sort of parable. Like Jesus' parables, it takes something we have experience with and teaches us deeper spiritual truths. Captured in the story is the truth that God has a desired future for us, a future that becomes a reality as we are loved by God and respond to that love. "New Beginnings" reflects our need for a new life that is given by a new owner. "Reflections of Glory" is a picture of what we become when we belong to the Owner who loves us in ways that transform us. What wonderful illustrations of the Journey God invites us to take with Him!
-Woody Torrence, Senior Pastor, Blue Ridge Community Church, Forest, Virginia

This is a perfect pet owner's manual!
-Scott Noe, DVM, Bedford Animal Hospital, Virginia

I have read your book several times, and what a delight it is. As well as being a charming story it also has a message on other levels. It shows that true beauty is more that just skin deep; it's the inner feelings where true beauty lies. And it is also a great education for children as it teaches responsibility, and I'm sorry to say that in this modern day throw-away society, 'responsibility' is something that seems to be somewhat lacking in education today. Once again, thank you so much for the book.
-Dennis Homes, Leogem Cavaliers

Every breeder, every owner should have this book as a precious guide. I enjoyed reading it and tears came up to my eyes.
-Alix Jauffret, Passeriphane Cavaliers, breeder (France), FCI judge
