Help A Blessed Boxer Give Back to World Vets

Thank you for your St. Patrick's Day greetings! Despite the humiliation of posing for the camera wearing a green scarf and a shamrock headband, I feel like a blessed boxer indeed.

At the same time, things in Japan go from bad to worse and it's hard to not to feel helpless. I'm especially awed by the selflessness of the search dogs who sniff through the rubble in a fight to find survivors. I wish I had that kind of focus and talent but alas, I do not. I'm way too hyper and easily distracted. I mean, it was hard enough for me to sit still and write a book.

I'm glad I did, though. Even if it was just one paragraph at a time, I had the chance to interview great people doing fantastic things for animals. One of those people is Cathy King, DVM PhD and CEO of the international non-profit World Vets (her interview is on pp. 101-3 of my book and her testimonial is on the front cover…right below the picture of my head!).

Cathy is on the ground in Japan right now, working frantically to rescue animals who've been left behind. There is a good CNN article that came out today that describes the situation and what Cathy and her peers from other animal welfare groups are doing to help the animals that are dying by the day (click here to read the article).

I might not be a search-and-rescue star, but I think I'm a pretty good writer (check out my reviews online and you'll see that this is not just the usual boxer braggadocio). Nothing makes my little nub tail wag with happiness more than using my book to help organizations that need help. This time, it's World Vets.

Here are the details: Go to the order page of my website and buy your very own, "pawtographed" copy of my book, Secrets of a Working Dog: Unleash Your Potential and Create Success. During checkout, you'll see a space on the PayPal order form where you can enter a promotion code. Type in "WORLDVETS" and I'll make sure that 25% of every book sale goes directly to World Vets.

If you have any problems or questions, send me an email at bella@bellatheboxer.com and I'll straighten it out for you. Dog's honor!

(Unfortunately, I can't track Amazon sales or e-Book sales to be able to give back to World Vets. But, the paperback copy of the book is "pawsome" and makes a snazzy gift, too. You can order it from my website here. The cost is just $19.95 and this includes free and fast shipping in the U.S.)
