Book Giveaway: Animals and the Kids Who Love Them


Last week my mom shared her review of Animals and the Kids Who Love Them by Linda and Allen Anderson on her blog.

She personally wrote a story for the book about me, Frankie (the walk n roll dog), her special needs dog, and my amazing bond with a special needs little boy named Jackson. All the stories are so touching and it is a book that will warm your heart. It also makes a great gift for the holidays, so do check it out today!

In the meantime I'm giving away a copy, so please leave a comment in the comment section to enter your name into the drawing. I will pick a winner at random on Friday, November 11th, so be sure to leave your comment by no later than midnight on November 10th. Please be sure your comment links back to you so I have a way in which to contact you if you are the winner.

Open to US and Canada residents only.
