Tilly's Tale to be featured on Wild About Pets, Radio Show

Author of Tilly's Tale and the up and coming second book in the series Dylan's Tale is going to be on Wild About Pets, Radio Show this Friday April 30th. Please stop in and see what he has to say not only about Tilly and the other pack of lovable furry friends but also about dog training.

April 30, 2010 - Children's Books and Dog Training
With guests, Harry Porter, author of "Tilly's Tale", an award winning children's book and Toriano Antonine Sanzone, Dog Trainer and author of "Wolfkeeper."

We'll hear about why popular British novelist, Harry Porter, has started writing a series of delightful children's books - all told from the point of view of the dog. For the second segment of the show, we'll talk about dog training. With all the recent guests I have had on the show, talking about using the style of dog training known as positive training, I'll give time to the other philosophy, compulsive training and we'll find out why some trainers feel the need at times to utilize stronger training methods.

Tilly's Tale will be featured on Wild About Pets, Radio Show

I'm really excited to hear that Brian (Harry Porter) has been contacted by Susan Frank, the host of the Wild About Pets Radio Show, who was interested in doing a feature on Tilly's Tale, and following discussions with her, Brian has agreed to do an interview with her on her show on 30th April at Noon, CST. He will be talking about Tilly's Tale of course, and also the other dogs in the pack. What makes this so exciting is that the show will go out live, and will interact with the Wild About Pets website which will carry pictures of the book, and Tilly and the other dogs in my little pack of rescued dogs, so people can see what they're hearing about as they listen to the show. After the broadcast the show will be accessible through the Wild About Pets archive on their website so anyone who misses the live broadcast can catch it later.

Tilly is a very special little dog. She was unwanted, unkempt and barely recognizable as a dog when we first found her. Her story is a canine tale of a triumph against the odds. From being a 'scruffy mutt' in a rescue sanctuary she has become a star at agility and search and rescue work and is 'pack leader' to our family of rescued dogs. I hope her story will go some way towards raising awareness of the plight of abandoned, abused and neglected dogs around the world and also the wonderful work performed by those who staff the various rescue centers and dog sanctuaries who care for them and help to find them loving caring homes.


Tilly's Tale, winner of The Preditors & Editors Readers Poll Best Children's Book Award and Best Artwork Award, 2009 is available from:

3 little fishies


These are some fish I have been working on for my portfolio. They are the same fish just in three different mediums, watercolor, charcoal and color pencil. I thought they were fun and expressed my style well. Which is your favorite fish?
