Barbara Techel is the author of the multi-award winning Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series. When her dachshund, Frankie, suffered a spinal injury, Barbara had her custom-fitted for a wheelchair. Frankie persevered, and Barbara realized the beautiful opportunity she had to share Frankie and give others hope and inspiration to be the best they can be. Along with sharing Frankie’s story with children, Barbara and Frankie routinely volunteer as a therapy dog team at a local hospital, senior assisted facility, and hospice community, spreading joy wherever they go.

Paralyzed Doxie Ploughs through Life!


I got this really cool picture today from Skippy's owners... they told me they were inspired by my train costume my Dad made for me two years ago... and they came up with this cool John Deere Tractor outfit for Skippy. Way to go, Skippy! You ROCK (and roll!)
