Books & Brothers with a Purpose: Those we rescue, really rescue us. It started with a simple trip to the woods, like most weekend mornings. It turned into a series of children’s books and affiliations with local non-profit organizations. Therapy Dogs, Max & Tucker, Australian Shepherd brothers, were doing what they enjoy most: playing in the woods and creeks of Northern Virginia when they came across a deer which had been stranded after a heavy rain. With the help of their Daddy, Max & Tucker rescued the deer and watched over her until she was strong enough to go on her way. This true story, which occurred in the Spring of 2017, is captured in Deer Oh Deer: A Max & Tucker Adventure, the second book in the Max & Tucker Adventure Series (Lily & Lucy is the first and it is the true story of how Max & Tucker rescued two abandoned puppies.) Proceeds will be donated to the Wildlife Rescue League of Falls Church, VA.

Make a SEA change. “Sea Change” is an expression meaning a significant or substantial change; a major transformation; a metamorphosis. By SEA, I mean Selflessness, Empathy, and Action. Look beyond yourself. Feel what others are feeling. Act. Your life, and more importantly the lives of others, can be transformed by day-to-day, common place deeds when done with selflessness and empathy. Max & Tucker Adventures illustrate this beautifully. We started with a simple trip to the woods, like most weekend mornings. It turned into a series of children’s books and activities which impact thousands of people and animals. An animated TV series, demonstrating selflessness, empathy, and action through the adventures of Max & Tucker and friends.
