About Barbara Techel

Barbara is a writer and animal lover. Her column, “For the Love of Animals” has appeared in the Depot Dispatch. Frankie the Walk ‘n Roll dog, her first children’s book, was awarded the 2008 National Best Book Award (children’s picture book soft cover) by USA Book News, the Merial Human-Animal Bond Award by Dog Writer’s Association of America, and the Editor’s Choice Award by Allbooks Review. It was also a finalist in the 2008 Indie Excellence Awards. Frankie herself was inducted into the 2009 Wisconsin Pet Hall of Fame.

About Frankie the Walk ‘n Roll Dog

Frankie is a dachshund, and this story is told from her point of view. She survives the normal challenges of puppyhood, including a struggle with house training, after Barbara and John adopt her. After a spinal injury, her human family nurtures her through a long period of rehabilitation and buys her a custom-fitted wheelchair. It takes a while to adapt to her new wheels, but soon she is joyfully rolling and playing.

Barbara wrote this book to offer hope and inspiration to people who face challenges. A lifelong animal lover, she realized Frankie’s paralysis was an opportunity to spread a positive message.

Enjoy the interview – it will last about 15 minutes and it will be up for replay by CLICKING HERE once it is over.

Thank you so much, Yael for this wonderful opportunity! I can hardly wait till 11:30a for the call today… meanwhile Frankie is resting up and sunning her belly out on the deck this morning. Such a life that dog leads!

Thanks, Joy for stopping by and I’m excited to know you will be listening in to the call today! Frankie and I think you are pretty special too!
