A huge thank yoiu to producer/reporter, Liz Lohuis and camerman Tyler for doing this story about Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog and how one little 5-year old sweet boy, Cameron got to meet the character from the book he just read about Frankie! (To read story transcript visit WLUK.)
Ok, so our timing was a bit off… we thought the issue would debut Monday, July 12th… but found out TODAY that the issue is actually out on many newsstands as of today, July 8th. So here is the cover and Frankie’s story is on page 40.
I can’t thank Woman’s World enough, as well as writer Kathy Fitzpatrick for capturing our mission in such a beautiful way. I am so, so grateful.
Thank you also to Trisha Brunner of Legacy Studios for doing the photo shoot, as well as Hailey and McKayla Nack for being a part of the shoot. Though their pictures didn’t make it in, I’m so grateful for their willingness to be a part of our very special day.
A big thank you to my husband, John who continually supports me in all that I do… as well as my mom who is so amazing in supporting me… and all my family and friends… thank you for sharing in our joy. It means so much to me.
Enjoy the article! And oh, yes, Frankie’s story will be featured on WLUK, Channel 11 this Sunday, July 11th at two different times. One between 7:00a and 8:00a and then again between 9:00pm & 10:00pm. If this is not a channel in your area, visit WLUK website for a live link!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think Frankie’s story would make it into a national magazine! I received the go ahead to make this very exciting announcement that Frankie will be featured in issue #29 of Woman’s World magazine, which will be on stands July 12th. This is one week before my 47th birthday and I could not ask for a better gift than this!
Woman’s World found out about Frankie through her story being featured in Every Dog Has A Gift by Rachel McPherson, published by Penguin/Tarcher publishing. The research editor with Woman’s World contacted me back in January. It’s amazing where one’s journey will take you if you are open to the possibilities…
(This is not the actual cover of the issue we will be in- just used this for reference)
“The warmhearted weekly magazine for busy women. Includes recipes, tips for organizing the home and much more. Woman’s World Magazine is the number one woman’s weekly! This magazine is wonderful, it has an advise for every area of the everyday life, it goes from cooking, diet, money saving to decoration and fun, greatly recommend it.”
With a readership of 8.2 million we are thrilled that Frankie’s message that animals with disabilieis can and do live quality lives will make a huge splash! We can’t thank Woman’s World enough for sharing our story which we believe will help educate so many more people about special needs pets, as well as give hope to everyone and anyone facing a challenge.
