When Wags a Tail - Dog Book Tour

 

Today I welcome Carmen Leal, author of When Love Wags a Tail - a memorable book on dog rescuers and their furry rescues!

About the Book:

Our four-legged friends have huge hearts. Carmen Leal never dreamed tragedy could bring positive change. Suffering a traumatic brain injury after a car wreck, the marketing pro struggled to find her center and reclaim her life, but found her world changed forever when she adopted a rescue dog.

 Flourishing on her new furry friend’s unconditional love, she turned her talents to supporting canines still facing grim futures. Working tirelessly over the course of four years, she’s helped find homes for over 6,500 dogs and collected endless tales of wonderment and triumph. A portion of her book sales are also donated to a foster-to-adoption group.

 BUY at:  Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Bookshop.org. Add it to your GoodReads reading list.

* Review: If you love dogs, then this is the book for you! Great little true stories about dogs who needed a home and those who gave them a new life! 🌟5 stars!

About the Author

 Carmen Leal is a storyteller, mom to "Coconut," the best imperfectly perfect rescue dog in the world, and a reluctant gardener. She is the author of multiple books, articles, devotionals, and human-interest stories. Carmen relocated from Hawaii to Oshkosh, where she and her husband learned a "crazy amount" about Wisconsin weeds. 

She is also an active member of the Oshkosh Southwest Rotary Club, part of her neighborhood association's leadership team, and is an adjunct professor for Fox Valley Technical College's award-winning E-Seed Entrepreneurship workshop. When she is not writing and speaking, Carmen reads, cooks, and is a major bargain hunter at consignment and antique shops.

 **** A portion of every book sold is donated to Second Chance North, an area foster-to-adoption group that helps to rescue more dogs. Follow Carmen on Facebook at #rescuemoredogs.
