Dogs Move Too!: From Max’s Point of View

I just found out my father lost his job and we have to move. My name is Maximus, but you can call me "Max." I am a five-year-old yellow English Labrador Retriever and this is my first children's book in a series called, "Read with Max." As you read my story, I'll share my moving adventure with you from my point of view. My book includes many photos of my friends and me during my moving experience. After you finish reading my book, you will know that if I can move, you can move too. Part of sale proceeds, the Authors will donate to Leader Dogs for the Blind.

Born in Detroit, Michigan. Anthony grew up in a family of four that relocated around the country for nearly eleven years. At the age of eight, he started his moving adventures from Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan to Northbrook, Illinois to Plano, Texas then to Long Island (Glen Cove), New York and finally what he refers to as home, Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. Moving has made Anthony laugh and cry, but looking back it made him the person he is today. Having struggled in school and determined to overcome his learning disabilities, Anthony graduated college earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Western Michigan University and earned a Master in Business Administration with specialization in Ecommerce Marketing degree from Walsh College. He also earned the ＂Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges＂ Award plus additional honors in his field of studies. After College, he and his wife Julie started their family with the addition of their first dog Maximus, an English Labrador Retriever. They recently have added to their family by rescuing Wrigley, a Basset hound. Maximus inspired Anthony’s breakthrough award winning children’s book, ＂Dogs Move Too!＂ Anthony and his wife Julie intend to continue adding stories of Maximus and their other family pets in a children’s book series ＂Read with Max.＂ With the support of his wife, Julie has spent many long hours scrapbooking and developing illustrations for Anthony’s most recent book. Anthony believes children can relate from inspirational stories of pets and it will help children manage similar experiences in their own life. Anthony is a motivational speaker for those with learning disabilities as well a consulting in the business and marketing fields. When Anthony is not working, he enjoys boating, playing racquetball, and of course spending time with his best friends, Maximus and Wrigley.
