Welcome!

Broken is a book about dogs. These are survival stories, stories about dogs protecting their loved ones at any cost, and dogs who have changed the lives of people they have encountered. What is more remarkable about these dogs is that they are all challenged. They are blind. Deaf. Missing limbs. Imperfect in any number of ways. And yet they have managed to live in a way that can teach us about living in the moment, revelling in life, letting go of the past and seeing the world as a beautiful place to be.

I AM LOOKING FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR POTENTIAL PUBLICATION. If you know of a remarkable dog who has amazed you with his story, consider sharing it with the world! You are welcome to submit a short outline to be filled in once approved, or a detailed and complete narrative. I cannot accept 'heresay'; all stories must be verifiably sourced. I am especially interested in tales that move and inspire people without heartbreak. No death scenes, please! (My 'pet' peeve is a dog story with a sad ending.)

Please e-mail your submission to brokendogstories@gmail.com .

If your story is well-suited for this publication, I will contact you. Please make sure to provide at least TWO ways to reach you. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project I would be happy to address them at the above link. Thank you for visiting my site and I look forward to hearing from anyone with a tale to tell! For more info and latest developments scroll down...

Getting the word out...

Today I began putting the word out. Yes, I decided this site was ready and so I finally told someone! I contacted friends via e-mail and Facebook and have started reaching out to folks in online support groups. This part will keep me busy for sure. There are so many resources I can tap into--it's just a matter of finding them.  There is a huge list to work from--vet clinics, shelters, rescues, and even personal blogs. Can't talk--gotta go to work on this!
