Promoting Paw-sitive Pet Parenting
White Plains, N.Y. (PRWEB) April 13, 2015 -- Of the 6-8 million animals entering shelters across the country each year, an estimated 1.8 million are family pets being surrendered.
Barbara Pierce’s new children’s book, “The Perfect Place for Toodles,” is a touching reminder of the pain caused to animals when owners fail to live up to their responsibilities to them.
In “The Perfect Place for Toodles,” Pierce tells the story of stray kitten Toodles and his journey through adoption, growth and ultimate independence.
The inspiration for Toodles’ story resulted from Pierce’s visit to the Jersey Shore, where she found a large commune of stray cats living under the boardwalk.
“My eyes were really opened to the plight of some animals,” Pierce said.
“The Perfect Place for Toodles” relays the important message to children that having a pet requires great responsibility, and that they, too, have needs and feelings.
