NJ Author To Talk All Things Dog in Hillsborough

Hillsborough, NJ -- A local New Jersey author will be appearing at the Hillsborough Library tomorrow, Jan. 12 to talk about her book “Dogland: Love, Loss and All Things Dog.”

Jacki Skole, is an award-winning journalist and an adjunct professor at Raritan Valley Community College teaching journalism and communications. Skole launched her journalism career at CNN, first as a news writer, then as a producer in the network’s documentary unit; she’s also produced programs for Animal Planet and HGTV.

Skole lives in New Jersey with her husband and two daughter plus her canine daughter, Galen, who inspired the journey that resulted in “Dogland.”

Dogland takes readers through Skole’s journey of discovery after adopting an eight week old puppy from a New Jersey rescue organization. In researching her book, “Dogland,” Jacki interviewed dozens of people involved in animal rescue, from shelter managers to animal rights activists.

Did you ever wonder why so many Jersey residents live with Southern dogs? The answer is more complex than you might think. And how do you know if an animal rescue is working in the best interests of its dogs? Also, why do we grieve the loss of a dog as strongly as we do the loss of a human loved one? Answers to these questions and more will be discussed at her presentation and book signing.

The presentation and book signing will be held Tuesday, Jan. 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hillsborough Library - Program Room B.
