Praise for CHARLIE BEAR:   “What a gift and privilege it is to witness the adorable Charlie Bear morph from an unwanted, issue-ladened orphan to a beloved, human rescuer under the loving care of B.J Taylor and her family. What a fabulous story—and I know stories!"  Jennifer Quasha, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Dog's Life and My Cat's Life     “An endearingly straightforward tale of a dog and the love he inspires.” Ptolemy Tompkins, author of The Divine Life of Animals Contributing Editor, Guideposts; Senior Contributing Editor, Angels on Earth     "As a lifelong advocate for the humane treatment of animals—and the founder/owner of A Place To Bark, a no-kill, foster and adoption rescue non-profit—I wholeheartedly support the mission and spirit of B.J. Taylor and her CHARLIE BEAR.    I have known all types of pets; yet the headstrong ones like Charlie, which B.J. depicts so accurately and engagingly, have always seemed to capture my heart. And the fact that Charlie inspires so much love—and ultimately turns the tables and rescues 'his' humans!—makes this book a must-read for dog lovers across the globe!" Bernie Berlin, Founder, A Place To Bark
