Barbara wrote Frankie, The Walk ’N Roll Dog to give hope and inspiration to all who face challenges. Her life time love of animals lead her to realize that Frankie s paralysis was an opportunity to spread a positive message. Barbara receives constant compassionate reactions when she is out with Frankie in her local town. People are fascinated by the little dog with tires, frequently asking her what happened to Frankie. The warmth, kindness and encouragement from strangers, as well as family and friends, lead Barbara to writing this, her first children s book. Since 2005 Barbara s column, For the Love of Animals has appeared in the Depot Dispatch.
