To support those who served so tirelessly in the aftermath of the Moore, OK tornado, I’ll donate $10 from the purchase of each book on my website during June to honor true heroes: the dogs and handlers from the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. Golden retriever Chief and his partner Andrew Pitcher from Nebraska have been working in Moore, and you may have seen them on CNN. You can read more of handsome Chief’s story here.
I can think of no more worthy cause than an organization dedicated to rescuing dogs and training them to rescue humans. It’s a perfect circle. Please join me in supporting the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. You’ll help to save dogs and people.

Holli Pfau’s dogs guided her to a new
career in animal-assisted therapy, deeper into wilderness adventures, and to relocation in the Rocky Mountains.
Along the way, she added rally obedience and dog agility to her compendium of canine activities. In every case, the dogs led the way. Pure Gold is a tale of unexpected adventures and the richness of life with rescued dogs. Read more…
