Paradise Valley Resident and Pet Celebrity Release First Coloring Book, Portion of Proceeds to Benefit Arizona Humane Society
Paradise Valley, Arizona (PRWEB) July 14, 2017 -- Paradise Valley resident, Marika Hamilton Meeks recently published her first book, The IncrediBullStella Coloring Book & Story. The book shares the story about the role her rescued Pitbull played in the recovery from Stage 3 breast cancer. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Arizona Humane Society.
Hamilton Meeks adopted Stella, a rescue Pitbull after undergoing cancer treatment for several years. She felt compelled to adopt a dog and had no idea how this decision would change her life and help her overcome the fear, anxiety and worry from her diagnosis that had become a full-time preoccupation.
“Cancer was running my life. Adopting Stella changed my life in so many ways.” said Hamilton Meeks. “Stella’s compassion and love helped subdue the stress, anxiety and worry that had overwhelmed me day in and day out. She jump-started my life again, gave me purpose, comfort and lots of cuddles and laughs. Our family quickly fell in love with this dog that had been abandoned.”
As a stray, Stella was abandoned in a vacant field in Fort Wayne, Indiana before being rescued by the Fort Wayne Pit Bull Coalition. Stella was adopted by Marika and her family on February 13, 2016 and has made Arizona her home.
The IncrediBullStella Coloring Book & Story, tells the tale of both Stella and Marika, giving hope and encouragement to others that have suffered through a traumatic experience.
