SHELBY and DANIEL’S VOICES UPLIFT DURING COVID
NUTLEY AUTHOR AND ANIMAL RIGHTS ADVOCATE ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF "GOD SHELBY, AND ME," AND "A CONVERSATION WITH DANIEL"

Nutley, NJ-- December 30th, 2021 Hot off the press- “God, Shelby and Me”, and “A Conversation with Daniel” penned by Nutley Motivational speaker, author, and animal advocate Joe Dwyer
“Everything I know I learned from dogs!” Brilliant words spoken by bestselling author Nora Roberts. “And I agree,” affirms Joe Dwyer. “With the onset and consequences of a crippling pandemic, I took the opportunity to incorporate the stories of Shelby my pit bull therapy dog, and Daniel the miracle beagle, gas chamber survivor to draw an amazing correlation between humans and dogs in the wake of suffering, compassion, survival, forgiveness, empowerment, and giving back—the basics for a fulfilling, feel-good life.
The late Shelby and Daniel came to earth assigned with seemingly victim roles. One an abused, seriously maimed bait dog in Newark, the other an abandoned discarded pup deemed useless and thrown into the gas chamber along with 17 other dogs—the lone survivor!
“With full reciprocity, “Joe says, Shelby and Daniel inspired and taught me as well as men women and children of all ages, essential lessons focused on tolerance, patience, understanding and wading through the inconsequential to discover the best in others.
“God, Shelby and Me” begins years before Shelby meets Joe on earth. As an angel pup preparing to fulfill her purpose she observes under Divine tutelage, her dad’s struggles while growing into an animal-loving adult with a passion to better the lives of all dogs and humans too. When God felt the time was right, the pit bull was sent to earth to meet her dad. But she had to suffer to get life.
“A Conversation with Daniel” traces the beagle’s life journey before, during, and after his miraculous gas chamber survival and narrates in his own words how his face-to-face with death and redemption led to a personal and successful crusade to ban gas chamber euthanasia in many States.
“Alongside Shelby and Daniel, I gave motivational talks to businesses and schools across the state. We bonded, as a team with people from all walks of life,” Joe says. The enlightening ministry continues through Joe Dwyer’s inspiring talks on social media and his books currently available for purchase on Amazon.com—books with the power to turn a storm into a sunny day!
Motivational speaker and author, Joe Dwyer lives in Nutley New Jersey with his wife Geralynn and 3-year-old rescued Greyhound, Bella. He will be guest of honor at a book signing, 2:00 PM on January 29th, at the Nutley Public Library. Purchase proceeds will go towards animal rescue.
