    New Children's Book - Doggie and the Vet, Profits for Animal Rescue

    Beautifully illustrated children's book, about Oliver, the Bichon, who doesn't feel well. He goes to the vet and tests show he has hypothyroid disease. With medicine, he feels better and can run and play! He will need medicine for the rest of his life, but that is fine because he feels so good now!

    Helps teach children about pet care. Helps children learn that taking medicine can make you feel better.

    Oh, that's just wonderful! Almost makes me wish I had some young children in my life .

    What a great way to help kids learn more about their pets and understand their lives better.

    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Oliver Book by Candyce Corcoran

    Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments about the book, OLIVER, that I wrote. I just joined this list and never knew that I would find my name in here! So once again, I am humbly honored!

    “Oliver” is an inspirational, beautifully-illustrated and well-received book about our family’s much-loved, rescued Bichon Frise. Oliver was rescued a few days before he was to be “put to sleep” and diagnosed with Hypothyroid Disease shortly after. He needs to stay on thyroid hormone medication for life to remain the healthy and happy furkid he now is.

    The book was written for and dedicated to my courageous grandson Austin who, like Oliver, was born with Congenital Hypothyroidism. When Congenital Hypothyroidism is correctly diagnosed in the first weeks of life, and treated with Thyroid Hormone Medications, babies will grow and develop normally.

    Copies of “Oliver” have been donated and read at local schools, youth facilities, pediatric offices, children’s hospitals around the country, including St. Jude’s and Ronald McDonald Houses. My hope is that "Oliver" will help ease the pain of childhood illness through the big brown eyes of a sweet dog who shares sickness with them. The book has been sold across the United States, Europe, and as far as Australia. All books are beautifully personalized and can be purchased only on Oliver’s website, www.worldofoliver.com. Oliver would love to have you as a friend on Facebook: OLIVER The World Famous Bichon Frise or Oliver Bichon Corcoran.

    I been interviewed on the NBC Television network affiliate, Channel 4 on Kacy Hagerty's program BETTER NASHVILLE. http://www.wsmv.com/video/24610897/index.html; WPCNR, www.wpcnr.com and The White Plains Times, www.wptimes.com; and the Rutherford Reader, www.rutherfordreader.com.



    I’ve been told that many children with cancer sleep with the book beside their pillow and take “Oliver” with them to the hospital for their chemo and radiation treatments. One grandmother told me that her granddaughter took “Oliver” with her on a Make a Wish trip to Disney World.

    “Oliver” is a pleasure for every child to read, be inspired by and enjoy. It can help children understand that going to the doctor is not a threatening, frightening experience and that taking medications is ok. Rescued animals, like Oliver, also benefit from the book since every single penny of the book’s profits go to help animal rescue.

    Once again, thank you so very much. .By the way . .This is not ONLY a children's book. It is a great gift for your vet's office, pediatrician and so on . . Candyce
