Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Therapy Dog Visits Libby's House Dachshund Book by Barbara Techel
Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog keeps rolling along in her doggie wheelchair. This paralyzed dachshund’s unabashed healing, exuberant spirit, and spunky personality is a blessed gift to everyone she befriends. In this true, inspirational story, Frankie tells how she became a registered therapy dog and shares her visits to Libby’s House, a senior facility where many residents have Alzheimer’s or dementia. Frankie teaches us that patience, listening, and understanding opens our hearts to what matters most—love.
Note from Author: ..."When Frankie ruptured a disk in her back in 2006, I questioned again why another challenge so close on the heels of Cassie’s death was happening to me. I struggled to find the answer, letting sorrow at first, take over. As Frankie began to heal I realized she was still the same Frankie even though she was now paralyzed. She did not let her physical handicap get in the way of being the same sweet dog she was before her accident. Realizing the opportunity to share this lesson with others, I wrote Frankie’s life story. It is told by Frankie herself, through me, her loving, human mom." — Barbara Techel
