Bean, a canine cancer survivor and therapy dog, makes a gift to Patriotic Paws of Berks Animal Rescue League in honor of his 13th birthday.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This National Calendar Day recognizes the unconditional love dogs bring to human lives, and encourages all of us to live in the moment. Bean, a canine cancer survivor and therapy dog, makes a gift to Patriotic Paws of Berks Animal Rescue League in honor of his 13th birthday. Coming in 2023 is a book co-authored by Bean to teach humans how to live in the moment from a dog's perspective.

"Bean", celebrity Golden Retriever from Morgantown, Pennsylvania, lives to share Bean Wuv! This lovable, socially popular, registered therapy dog, television actor, and canine spokes dog landed a national calendar day on August 22 called Never Bean Better Day. The Registrar at National Day Calendar has declared Never Bean Better Day to be observed August 22 in perpetuity annually and encourages humans to learn a few dog tricks from their canine pals. Main message is to take time to live in the moment during these dog days of summer.

“This day recognizes the unconditional love dogs bring to human lives, and encourages all of us to take time to live in the moment like they do," - Michelle Drager, Humble Leash Holder of Celebrity Dog Bean

"Never Bean Better Day is about sharing joy of life with delight, said Michelle Drager, Never Bean Better Day spokesperson and Bean's handler. "This fun day recognizes the unconditional love dogs bring to human lives and encourages all of us to live in the moment," she explained. This year also honors the 13th birthday of Bean, a canine cancer survivor, who eagerly spreads his "wuv" by improving the lives of those who need it most," she said. This year, Bean is sharing the "bean wuv" with the Patriotic Paws program of the Berks Animal Rescue League. A gift of $1300 was made in his honor to this program that helps veterans adopt a fur-ever friend.

Like Bean says, "share the "Bean Wuv" and do it generously, like dogs do! Dogs give all their love with abandon in antics only canines know how to do. "Sometimes, they even have their own language, said Drager, as Bean does when he sings to his over 75,000 social media followers with his infamous woo woo." Join in the fun and share the #beanwuv by using the hashtags #NeverBeanBetterDay or #neverbeanbetter and tag @neverbeanbetterwoowoo and @neverbeanbetter to wish cancer-survivor Bean a happy 13th birthday. Share your dog days of summer pictures of your on Never Bean Better's social media. Get out and fetch up some fun and live life unleashed today!

Don't have a dog? That's okay, Bean is everybody's dog and has a pack of pals! Follow the Never Bean Better™ tail on his social media pages on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neverbeanbetterwoowoo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neverbeanbetter/ and on the Never Bean Better website http://www.neverbeanbetter.com

"He's a virtual therapy dog," said Drager.

We're also spilling the beans on the latest upcoming Never Bean Better developments! Bean is the co-author of an upcoming book to be launched in early 2023. This therapy dog and his lovable canine Never Bean Better pack of Golden Retrievers will train humans on how to live life unleashed. His co-author and chief leash holder is Michelle Drager; his editor is Beth Kallman Werner, Author Connection, LLC; and his publisher is Tracey Jones, Tremendous Leadership. Be sure to keep an eye out for this paw-some book!

THE INFAMOUS BEAN'S HISTORY
Born in Morgantown, Pennsylvania on August 22, 2009, with the canine registered name, Neversink's Never Bean Better, and then residing in Columbia Falls, Montana for a few years and traveling North America before returning to his roots in Pennsylvania, this lovable Golden Retriever owned by Jim and Michelle Drager grew up to be an ambassador of love. He became a registered therapy dog at the young age of two through the observation of Berks County Therapy Dog Group and certification through Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Inc., headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He started making rounds as a young therapy dog for Penn State Health St. Joseph in Reading, Pennsylvania, and then spent three years serving as a comfort dog at North Valley Hospital, now Logan Health, in Whitefish, Montana. He has traveled North America sharing his Bean wuv, as a canine celebrity spokes dog. He has brought joy to so many sick and disadvantaged children, lonely elderly, and woo'd to raise funds for his less fortunate canine brethren. He has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal and played a dog that sensed the paranormal on Animal Planet's television show, The Haunted. Locally, he appeared on BCTV's show Dog Is Family, and joined WFMZ's Nancy Werteen and Kim Howie on the Podcast, The Wisdom Coalition. He is known around the globe for his woo woo. When you ask, Bean answers.
