Author Visit Via Skype or In-Person with Barbara Techel & Special Dog Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog

Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog will uplift and inspire your students, teachers!


Frankie will instill in your students how to make positive choices, deal with adversity, give back to their community despite challenges and help them see differences in a positive way.

During our visit whether in person or via Skype Frankie will share her journey of how she could walk like a regular dog for the first six years of her life, how she became injured, was custom-fitted for a doggie wheelchair and persevered.  Not once did Frankie feel sorry for herself and she will inspire your students to be the best and to never give up, no matter what.
