CHARMAINE HAMMOND BOOK to MOVIE.

Charmaine was on iApril 30. 2012. On this visit she will review about her book and then share her experiences as the book is becoming a movie.

When On Toby’s Terms author Charmaine Hammond and her husband Chris were almost killed in a sailboat accident, they instinctively knew that their priorities needed to shift and when their beloved German Shepherd, Dooks passed on, they knew the right thing to do was to rescue a dog and give it a loving home. Little did Chris and Charmaine know how much their lives would change with the arrival of what they thought was a well behaved Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Toby.At first things were going well, but soon after he entered their lives, Toby started acting up, destroying their home, knocking over knife blocks, ripping up toilet seats.Things got so bad that Chris said “I was on a first name basis with everyone at the local Home Depot”...such begins the enchanting story of Toby Hammond.“ My Eureka moment came when I discovered (from an animal behaviorist) that everyone, including DOGS needs a purpose,” says author Charmaine Hammond  “I immediately signed Toby up for school, training him to become a service dog and he now does extensive charity work.Toby instinctively knows when it’s time to go to work and there is determination in his step and enthusiasm in his eyes.”http://www.tobytales.com/
