- Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog
- Frankie is nationally & internationally known as the "walk ‘n roll dog.” After a diagnoses of IVDD at the age of six, she was custom- fitted for a doggie wheelchair. Frankie shares her story of inspiration and hope in the award-winning book series, Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog. They are written from Frankie’s point of view.
