My Name Is Henley - My Life and Times as a Rescued Dog |

Henley, an Old English Sheepdog, tells about his rescue from a puppy mill where he was abused and neglected; his short but life-saving stay at a shelter; and his new life in a loving home where he is later joined by five rescued cats. (Henley dictated his story to his Mom, Judith Kristen, by the way.) The interaction between Henley and his feline siblings is touching, humorous, and captivating. This is a story of kindness, patience, love, respect, and understanding; it is an eye-opening tool for educating kids on animal welfare issues and a heart-warming read for adults. The Best Friends Humane Education department uses it in its work. 152 pages. Published by Aquinas and Krone Publishing. Soft cover. Ages 9 to 90!
Judith Kristen and Henley visit schools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to share Henley's story so the kids can learn all about shelter adoptions and the joys of giving animals a second chance at life. Henley's latest tour is called "An Old Dog Teaches Kids New Tricks."
