New Book "Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal" is the Heartwarming Tale of A Rescue Dog, The Woman Who Rescued Him, and Her Work as A Trainer
Recent release "Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal" from author Peggy Lovelock with Melva Michaelian describes Peggy's more than 20 years of training experience and of the one special dog who taught her the value of learning from her students.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Peggy Lovelock, long-time trainer and former AKC Canine Good Citizen trainer and evaluator, Delta Society trainer and evaluator, and Therapy Dog evaluator, has consulted with English teacher, author, and former client, Melva Michaelian, to complete her new book "Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal".
"This is the story of my twelve-year relationship with Mr. Sims, the Shih Tzu I found abandoned on my doorstep, in which the roles of teacher and student constantly shifted," Peggy Lovelock said of the book. "It shows the strong partnership we built with relationship-based dog training methods, competitive obedience, therapy dog work, and my education into canine physical issues, both obvious ones and very elusive ones."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Peggy Lovelock's story came into being through the encouragement of Melva Michaelian.
"I had taken my Cairn Terrier, Cappy, to a group class but felt that he needed the one-on-one attention that Peggy offered," Melva Michaelian explained of their relationship. "After the success of my first lesson, I asked Peggy if she ever thought of writing a book about her training methods."
"With Melva's guidance, I was able to write the story of how Mr. Sims and I had taught each other about building a strong, loving partnership," Peggy Lovelock said. It is her hope that her training techniques and insights in this book should be of benefit to all dog owners.
"Peg Lovelock sure made the right decision when she chose an absolutely adorable picture of Mr. Sims for the cover of her book Rescuing an Angel: 'Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal'. For me it was love at first sight. I was ready to hear his story.
Although it was heartbreaking to read about Mr. Sims' early life, it was an absolute joy to observe how Peg's patience, understanding, and love helped him blossom into the very special dog that he was.
Peg did a great job of balancing the good times and the not so good. I loved that the book has an upbeat ending in spite of the inevitable.
As I went on Peg's and Mr. Sims' remarkable journey, I couldn't help but feel the love and compassion they had for each other.
Mr. Sims turned out to be an angel but so did Peg Lovelock.
I truly enjoyed reading Rescuing an Angel, 'Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal' and picked up some valuable information along the way."

"I was very fortunate to become friends with Peg, her husband Frank and of course getting to know their very handsome Mr. Sims around the year 2000. Mr. Sims was such a character and you couldn't help but fall in love with that cute little face and his bubbly personality. It was obvious to me back then and still today how dedicated Peg is to everyone who comes to her for help training their dog, me included.
Rescuing an Angel 'Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal' is beautifully written. It follows the life of Mr. Sims and all of his trials and tribulations along with his many accomplishments. This book is heartwarming, humorous and speaks volumes about Peg's dedication to train in the most caring and loving way. Each chapter starts with a perfect quote. These quotes offer food for thought and for your soul. For any and all dog lovers this is one of those books you won't want to put down until you get to the end. True love never dies and is never forgotten and I will never forget this wonderful little Shih Tzu named Mr. Sims."
