Description

Lisa is joined by Lisa J. Edwards, the author of A Dog Named Boo: How One Dog and One Woman Rescued Each Other―and the Lives They Transformed Along the Way.Lisa J. Edwards is a full-time professional dog trainer and behavioral consultant and the owner-operator of Three Dogs Training. (www.threedogstraining.com)She has been a registered Delta Society Pet Partner with three of her dogs and has made more than 400 visits with her pets to hospitals, schools, nursing homes and residential care facilities. In 2008, Boo was honored as one of five finalists for the Delta Society's national Beyond Limits Award for his therapy work with Lisa.On October 14, 2012 A Dog Named Boo entered the Sunday Times Top Ten Paperback Bestseller list!When Lisa Edwards came across this puppy Boo while on her way to buy Halloween candy, she immediately noticed that this puppy wasn't like the others.  He was bumping into things, was very mellow, and was something special.  She got Boo and had a very hard time training him, especially when it came to potty training (took over a year.) As a dog trainer, she knew there was something going on with her sweet Boo.  Turns out her has something called Cerebellum Hyperplasia.  With patience, persistence, and letting go of perfection, Boo became an incredible therapy dog and changed the lives of so many people. BOOK DESCRIPTION:The International BestsellerThe 'feel good' book of the season… Boo’s story reminds all of us that life is full of possibilities and that hope often arrives wagging a tail. —Best Friends magazineThe dunce of obedience class with poor eyesight and a clumsy gait, Boo was the least likely of heroes. Yet with his unflappable spirit and boundless love, Boo has changed countless lives through his work as a therapy dog: inspiring a six-year-old boy to speak for the first time in his life, coaxing movement from a paralyzed girl and stirring life in a ninety-four-year-old nun with Alzheimer’s disease. But perhaps Boo’s greatest miracle is the way he transformed Lisa Edwards’s life, giving her the best gift of all: faith in herself.This is the inspiring true story of how one woman and one dog rescued each other, a moving tribute to hope, resilience and the transformative power of unconditional love.
