Tucker runs for shelter in an alley where he dreams of his old home and his boy, Henry. The next morning, Animal Resource Center finds him and take him to the animal shelter. Tucker is excited about his new surroundings, a bath, a soft bed, and high hopes of being adopted.
Weeks go by and Tucker's happiness fades as many dogs are adopted and he is passed over because they think he is mean. One day, Tucker meets someone special. A young woman named Lyla, who thinks he is just perfect the way he is. She adopts Tucker and takes him to Wagtown, a dog-friendly community.
Tucker has fun adventures and feels completely accepted in this new town. Lyla gives Tucker happiness, unconditional love, and a forever home. He realizes that he isn't a worthless dog after all. In the end Tucker found out that being himself was good enough.
Throughout her research across the United States, it became obvious to Miller that she needed to speak to children about dogs and their effect on our lives. Enter Beth's first book - a children's book called, "Tucker Finds His Forever Home." The book features beautiful watercolor artwork artist Erica Schindler.
The book is about empathy and humane treatment of animals as seen through the eyes of an abandoned young pitbull dog. The book addresses topics like self-worth, discrimination, safety, emotions, and bullying. The story also focuses on some key messages about hope, resilience, and love. The story is inspiring, touching, fun to read and listen to, and full of opportunities to cheer for the main character throughout his journey.
100% of Wagtown's book proceeds go to animal welfare projects and programs. Yes, 100%. The more books we can get to kids, the larger the impact we can have on the welfare of animals in our communities. Dogs make the world a better place. Now, it's time to make the world a better place for them. Erica Schindler is an up-and-coming children's book author. This book is her first adventure into watercolor illustrations for kids. Her love of compelling stories, emotionally rich imagery, and dogs made her the perfect artistic partner to bring Tucker's story to life.
