Frankie The Walk N’ Roll Dog To Help The Ranch

Frankie

We've often said that disabled animals are inspirational, and Frankie — a Dachshund who became paralyzed after a spinal injury — is certainly proof of that.  Frankie's spirit and tenacity in overcoming her disability inspired her Mom, Barbara Techel, to write a children's book, "Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog."

As Barbara describes it, "Teaching children, as well as
adults, that we can overcome challenges has become a passionate
mission of mine. With Frankie by my side, I find blissful joy in
sharing her story."

Published in 2008, Frankie's book has won several awards and honors, and is helping people see disabled animals in a new light.

For the month of April, Barbara is kindly donating a portion of the book sales to the ranch to help the disabled animals here. 

You can read more about Frankie, as well as order the book, at Barbara's wonderful Web site Joyful Paws.

Thank you, Frankie and Barbara!

    What a nice gesture to donate a portion of the book sales. I went to Frankie’s website and watched his inspiring video. Animals truly can be inspirational. And what a wonderful person Barbara is to have helped Frankie continue to have a wonderful life. I often wonder why even more people can’t care as much about animals as so many of us do. Web sites like Barbara’s help put a good message out there in addition to showing the inspiration Frankie gives to everyone. I believe that God watches over the people who take care of his creatures.

    I just went to the website and purchased the book for my 5 children. They often ask me about people they see that are different so I’m hoping that this will help them understand better. We have 5 wonderful dogs and 2 rabbits which one is disabled. It is such a wonderful thing they are doing with the donations. There should be more people like this. Keep up the good work and thanks for making me laugh on some days. Where are the goats??

    I went to the website & saw the video of Frankie’s story. Of course, with that song I cried. Barbara is an awesome Mom & person to be so generous both to her furry kids & to your furry kids. Thank you Barbara & Frankie for being such an inspiration & for what you do to teach others that no matter what trials we have in life there is always a positive side to them.
