Overview

Gabriel's Angels: The Story of the Dog Who Inspired a Revolution is the inspirational true story that began with one woman, one dog, and a Just Call Me Rudolph t-shirt. Pam Gaber never set out to change the world. She just thought the children at the Phoenix Crisis Nursery where she volunteered would get a kick out of seeing her dog, Gabriel, wearing a pair of fake antlers to a Christmas party. What happened that day was nothing short of incredible, Pam says. And I knew it was either nothing, or it was really something. This book tells Pam's story of leaving Corporate America and serendipitously creating a program that works to end the cycle of violence for abused, neglected, and abandoned children through healing pet therapy. Part memoir, part Gabriel's biography, and part how-to, the story is woven together through Pam's funny, charming, self-deprecating style. Readers will be riveted by details of the founding, growth, and results that Gabriel's Angels has achieved in its first 10 years, moved to tears by the heartbreaking story of Gabriel's illness and passing, and inspired by the power and vision of this amazing organization. From Gabriel's untimely meeting with a woman who recognized him at the dogpark to the hilarious depiction of Pam and Gabe riding a rickshaw through downtown Phoenix on a blistering summer day, the book will amuse, enchant, engross, and move its readers to take action, whether that simply be to improve their relationships with their own pets or inquire about forming similar organizations in their communities.
