About Rio - A Love Story: How My Dog Saved My Life
Review "Rio - A Love Story is a beautifully written love story indeed, a love story of a mother and her children and the special love story many of us have experienced with a beloved pet. Poignant and compelling, Joni takes the reader on a powerful journey from tragedy to triumph. The book is a testament to both the strength and resilience of the human spirit and how the unselfish love between a dog and a trainer can heal both. Highly recommended." -- Bradley Rand Smith, Internationally Award-Winning Playwright, Screenwriter, Theater Producer and Director "I wasn't prepared to feel the depth of emotions I did when I read Rio - A Love Story. I guess I thought there wasn't a dog story I hadn't already heard. My life has been for dogs and about dogs - my own and others - for most of my adult life - and especially since I started my own dog bakery and boutique more than 15 years ago. But as I was reading Joni's book, I realized that I was in the possession of something very special: A beautifully written love story that is at once unique to Joan and Rio, but also an acknowledgement in general of the glorious bond between dogs and their humans. I loved this book. It reminded me of how lucky I am to share space with these wonderful creatures we call our best friends." -- Penny Milligan, Owner of the Hungry Hound, Somerville, New Jersey "This beautiful portrayal of Joan's journey through tremendous grief, and the discovery of new meaning for life with her best friend, Rio, is well written, heartwarming and inspiring. Joan and Rio show us how having a best friend by your side, no matter what, can make the heartaches of life more bearable and the celebrations of life more amazing! Stepping out of her grief to fulfill her promise to Rio, Joan discovered the healing made possible by her willingness to love and be loved, regardless of species. As an animal communicator, I recommend Rio - A Love Story to you. Go home now and start listening to your dog, you just never know where that might lead you." -- Karen Collyer, Author, Editor & Founder, Rainbow Animal Sanctuary, Tasmania, Australia "An emotional and heart-felt sweet journey of life's losses, adventures and new friendships. Joan's life was enriched by sharing dog sports with the renowned, remarkable and very romantic Belgian Tervuren Rio who serves loyally as her life's beacon, best friend and soulmate and redeems her life in this sweet story." -- Lisa Pattison, KPA-CTP, CNWI, CTDI, Expert Dog Trainer, Canine Partnership, Readington, New Jersey " Rio - A Love Story is a true love story - a love story about the type of love we all crave and all deserve - unconditional love. A must read! I read it and I loved it." -- Tom Bird, Best-Selling Author About the Author J oni lives in the beautiful mountains of New Jersey on the East Coast of the United States, works to save our Earth's environment and biodiversity and loves life with Rio and Romeo.
