Moving Tale of Canine Hope, Joy and Sorrow, The Story of Moses, Published by Outskirts Press

Fort Worth, TX, November 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Story of Moses by Jennifer Talbot Ross. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the dogs and pets category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/thestoryofmoses was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

From surviving the wilds of the Texas Hill Country to a devastating battle with cancer, this is the story of Moses -- a beautiful, big, white dog who, from all indications, began his life as a livestock guard dog on a ranch in Texas (as do many dogs of his breed, the Great Pyrenees).

Moses was taken in by a pet rescue group after having wandered onto a ranch in central Texas…homeless. After a few short months in foster care, Moses found his forever family and the road to immortality through their love and devotion. In an authentic voice, the author tells the story of her beloved dog, Moses. Fate brought them together and something terrible ended their story far too soon.

The Story of Moses recounts how Moses gained celebrity with friends, neighbors and strangers and earned the love and trust of both his human and four-legged family. As Moses’ illness is discovered and advances, life unravels like a loose thread in a well-worn sweater. But, Moses’ story is much, much more. It is the story of joy and hope and sorrow. It is the story of the wonderful dogs that came before, opening the door for Moses to walk through. It is the story of those left to remember and cherish. It is the story of survival in the midst of great loss. It is knowing that, however painful, love remains and is the ultimate blessing.

The cast is a rich tableau of canine characters. Moses shines through with strength, willfulness and gentleness unmatched – a true, gentle giant. Though Moses’ life ended tragically, his loving spirit lives on. Animal lovers will delight in the stories of the amazing dogs that grace the pages and empathize over the ruthless destruction of canine cancer. Readers looking from the outside in who have not yet experienced the joy of pet ownership may well find themselves moved to do so.

147 pages in length, The Story of Moses is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the dogs and pets category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Story of Moses meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95.

Additionally, The Story of Moses can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
