Produktbeschreibung
Angel in a Foxhole (Smoky The Therapy Dog) tells the true story of Smoky, WWII's best-known therapy dog and tiny 4lb. war hero, in an easy-to-read illustrated book. The 18 beautifully-illustrated drawings are captioned to explain her life story in the Southwest Pacific, as well as her post-war years in Cleveland, Ohio. Each drawing is well-suited for coloring by any age.Smoky, found in a New Guinea foxhole, provided service through Corporal Bill Wynne, a Fifth U.S. Army Air Force photo-reconnaissance photographer, as a companion, trained therapy dog, and war hero. Her legacy as a therapy dog continued throughout Cleveland area hospitals, orphanages, and neighborhoods, and included a live, weekly morning television show where she entertained thousands of families and children with Bill as Mr. Pokey.Bill's love and fiancé, Margie, is warmly represented as the other true story of love and companionship.
Autorenporträt
Dave Tabar, author of Angel in a Foxhole (Smoky The Therapy Dog), is a Cleveland, Ohio composer and musician whose greatest passion is telling stories through music and through imagery. Dave decided to release his children's story book commensurate with the release of the short film he co-produced by the same name. He also authored the soundtrack album by Black River Ensemble on Blackpool Records with son, Will Tabar, a contributing music composer.The book, beautifully illustrated by Samantha Williams, captures Smoky's spirit as the best-known therapy dog of early record (1940's WWII), and delivers inspiration to all in need of self-help or healing. This Smoky story book also serves as a coloring book for all ages.A very special Thank You is offered to William A. Wynne (97), who personally supported the publishing of the book, and provided the greatest inspiration of all as to why it should be published: Children will learn so much from Smoky's story.Although Smoky was well-known as a war hero by saving livings (ref: Yorkie Doodle Dandy by William A. Wynne), Bill Wynne feels that her greatest legacy is as the early leader of the therapy dog movement, as Smoky and Bill visited and entertained military infirmed during WWII's Pacific Theater, while serving post-war at Cleveland area military hospitals, orphanages, and neighborhoods, as well as appearing weekly on live, Sunday morning television.Now, enjoy reading ... and coloring!
