Inspiring Stories of Animals Who Comfort and Heal Children- Contest

 

http://www.angelanimals.net/contestrules.html

Authors, Linda and Allen Anderson of Angel Animals Network, run heart-warming, authentic contests and this is their latest one.  Deadline is September 15th, 2010.  There is also no entry fee and I personally have worked with Linda and Allen and have found them great to work with.  Their last contest I placed 2nd and will have the distinct honor of having my story published by New World Library in “Dogs and the Women Who Love THem: Extraordinary True Stories of Love, Healing and Inspiration” Fall 2010.  So check out their newest contest and give it a try!
