About
Real Dogs Don’t Whisper
The award winning book, Real Dogs Don't Whisper (www.realdogsdontwhisper.com),
which highlights my life journey caring for four special needs dogs and the
life lessons they taught me along the way.
The overall message within Real
Dogs Don’t Whisper is about giving those with special needs a second
chance. The book touches on integrity,
unconditional love, leadership, trust, stopping abuse and opening your heart to
receive and give both unconditional love and friendship. To lighten the message, I developed a co-author,
Mr MaGoo; Mr MaGoo is my Lhasa Apso and he is larger than life. He adds humor within the book; sharing with
the reader how life is so tough for him being the only male in the house and
living with a crazy lady, me.
Things You Should Know about Mr. MaGoo –
the
Coauthor or Real Dogs Don’t Whisper
Mr. MaGoo is
a nine-year-old Lhasa Apso and the book’s co-creator and co-writer. He is, in
his own words, “the alpha and omega of all dogs – in the cutest and sparkiest,
most fun-loving package ever.” Ignoring Kelly’s persistent eye-rolling, Mr.
MaGoo has forged ahead with this project in an attempt to, as he puts it,
“present the facts from a dog’s perspective. In other words, the correct, most
accurate, most interesting, only-one-that-matters perspective,” to which he
adds, simply, “Woof!”
Oh my! Mr MaGoo is a clown, even in his senior
mature years; I think he found the fountain of youth because he still acts like
a puppy. When he walks, he doesn’t walk,
oh no! When Mr MaGoo walks, he has a
prance to his step, as if he knows the world is watching and he is performing
for them. There is nothing bashful about
him, he likes to make his presence know; something as simple as being in the
room with you no matter how many times you may get up and move. Or, finding his favorite toy and squeaking it
until someone looks his way. When he was
a puppy, his eyes were hidden which is how I arrived at his name. As the years went on and after many grooming
appointments, his eyes started to take on the appearance that he has eye liner
on. Kid you not! To this day, I often hear the comment that he
looks like he is wearing eyeliner. Who
knows? Maybe he was born for the lime
light after all?
About Kelly Preston
Kelly Preston is,
first and foremost, an animal lover. Raised on a ten-acre property in a small
town in Pennsylvania, she grew up with horses, rabbits, and – of course – dogs.
When she left home after college, she acquired Gizmo, an irresistible Lhasa
Apso that started her on a journey full of joys and sorrows, hopes and
tribulations, frustrations, endless lessons in patience, and above all else,
love. All of this has come at the hands (more precisely the paws) of Gizmo,
Betty Boop, Buffy, Carla Mae, and the inimitable Mr. MaGoo.
