A unlikely angel is coming to town, and I’d like you to meet him.

His name is Toby, a rescue dog with an unlikely mission.  He will be joining the elite ranks of movie stars whose life has inspired a film.

How did Toby hit the big time?

He had friends, who stuck with him through their dark night of the Soul.  Ironically, their dark night showed up when Toby moved in.  Angels come in all shapes and sizes, including destructive retrievers with big brown eyes.

This hilarious, heart felt and inspirational book is destined to be a classic.  Not only that, it’s a testament to the power of loving.

There’s a second story behind Toby’s story though. It’s one of relationships, networking, and cooperation among colleagues who united to make “On Toby’s Terms a best seller on Amazon.  If you want see what it takes to take it to #1 on Amazon, check out my friend Dave Albano’s blog post. For every aspiring best selling author with a story to tell, it’s a great uplifting read that takes us from dreaming about #1 status to an inside look at how to actually become a best selling author.

Now back to Toby.

“Toby is a Chesapeake Retriever and he makes Marley look like Mother Teresa! The stories are incredible of what he did & what he destroyed. But Toby has a secret, a gift.”

I read the previews on Amazon when I ordered the book, and I was hooked by the end of the first page. You see, I had my version of Toby. Her name was LC, which stood for last chance.  LC, like Toby, was a four legged angel whose antics and muddy paws opened my heart.  I’m sure Toby will open your heart to the infinite ways that love moves when God sends his gifts in unlikely packages.

Kudos to Charmaine Hammond for this lovely gem of a book.  Join me in celebrating life On Toby’s Terms.  I’m stocking up to get my holiday shopping done early!
