DENINE PHILLIPS

A unique first-person account of day-to-day life with a German shepherd, a story that will inspire new and future dog owners to build the right foundation with their canine companion and, ultimately, form an unbreakable bond.

Praise For Don't Give Up On That Dog:

This book's value lies in the meticulous chronicling of all the different experiences a new dog owner can go through in a straightforward, clear way. And since the author is not pretending to be a professional dog trainer, the reader is able to place themselves in her shoes. The story is honest and reflects the wisdom of not giving up on a dog when one encounters difficulties." ~Brother Christopher Savage, Author and Head Dog Trainer, The Monks of New Skete

"I've perused much of DON'T GIVE UP ON THAT DOG! and was completely enaged in what I read. It is immediately clear that the author's heart is in both the book and the dog." ~Wilma Melville, Founder, National Disaster Search Dog Foundation & CNN Hero

About Denine Phillips

Since childhood, dogs have always been a part of Denine Phillips' life. From her first dog, Heidi, an energetic German shorthaired pointer, through seven much-loved golden retrievers, Ms. Phillips' New Jersey home is now shared with an odd canine couple-Cooper, an enormous German shepherd, and Ozzie, a mild-mannered Shih Tzu. Ruling the roost is Meeko, a 9-year-old Siamese cat that showers affection on everyone and everything-except the dogs. Today, when not tending to her family and pets, Ms. Phillips is a freelance technical writer with many published works to her credit. An expert in the field of document imaging solutions, Ms. Phillips had the privilege to work in Tokyo, Japan, with one of the world's leading developers of office technology. That was in 2007, just as the economic downturn began to impact worldwide markets. With her penchant for writing, Ms. Phillips turned to chronicling the many memorable moments raising a dog named Cooper.
