MEADVILLE, Pa., April 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A Dog Named Goofy": a touching story of loss and acceptance, is the creation of published author Ann Marie Kay, a registered nurse specializing in psychiatry for adolescents and preteens. She owns and manages Kay Farm Standardbred Rescue in Thompson, Ohio, which pairs up troubled kids with rescue horses. She aspires to open a group home for troubled youth on the farm, funded by her writing.
Kay writes, "A Dog Named Goofy is the true story of the life of a dearly loved rescue dog. It is written from the dog's perspective and is appropriate for young children ages four to eight years old. They will learn the importance of caring for someone they love, even if it is sad and difficult. Children often learn coping skills for grief and loss when they lose a pet.
