Imagine a world where every heartbeat of despair is met with a wagging tail of hope. This isn’t just a dream; it’s the mission that’s unfolding before our very eyes. I’m thrilled to share with you the birth of a vision that has grown wings and is ready to soar – “Phoenix Rising: Service Dogs Saving Lives.”
What began as an anthology isn’t merely a collection of tales; it’s a lifeline, a beacon of light for those teetering on the edge of darkness. Each story is a testament to the miraculous bond between humans and their service dogs – faithful companions who have not just changed lives but saved them.
The spark that ignited this flame came from an incredible woman, Cheri Merz, an author and coach whose wisdom and guidance are shaping this project into a vessel of hope. Together, we’re crafting a narrative that will not only support Phoenix’s journey but could potentially extend a life-saving paw to another person in need.
As the vision unfurled, like a phoenix from the ashes, it became clear that this endeavor was destined for greatness. Inspired by Charmain Hammond’s (of Raise A Dream) success with her book “On Toby’s Terms,” the dream expanded. When the time is right, Phoenix and I will embark on a book tour across North America, spreading the word far and wide about the life-saving power of service dogs.
This mission has evolved into a calling, a commitment to get service dogs into the hands of those battling PTSD and other mental health disabilities. The future shines brightly with the promise of “Phoenix Rising: Service Dogs Saving Lives,” an organization that will stand as a testament to the unbreakable spirit of those we aim to serve.
