Holiday Gift Idea: New Children's Book 'Dr. Duncan Dog On Duty,' About A Family's Therapy Dog

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 -- This dog really earns his kibble! Duncan, a family's dog, adopted from a shelter, visits children in the hospital every week and helps them get through their hospital stay, in 'Dr. Duncan Dog On Duty,' a new children's book by children's lifestyle expert and author Lisa Dunn-Dern. The book shows the family -- mother, father and child narrator, preparing Duncan for his hospital visit by giving him a bath and filling his backpack, and shows him interacting with the young patients and hospital staff.

'Dr. Duncan Dog On Duty' is beautifully illustrated in full color by Andrea Yomtob, an artist, illustrator and digital effects animator ("King of the Hill," Pepsi commercials, and "The Simpsons Movie").

'Dr. Duncan Dog On Duty' has been praised by reviewers, celebrities, experts and readers. 'At Childrens Hospital, the children are happiest when dogs come to visit. This book brings this heartwarming experience to life for everyone to share' (Mary Hart, "Entertainment Tonight" host; board member, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles). 'A delightful celebration, a testament to the fact that everyone can be of service and everyone has something to share' (the late Yolanda King, daughter of Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King).

"'Dr. Duncan Dog on Duty' is a beautiful expression of the importance of the human-companion animal bond. It made me cry," said Lilli A. Forbrich, DVM. "... portrays the wonderful experience of pet therapy in a way the whole family can enjoy. I hope 'Dr. Duncan Dog On Duty' will inspire many readers to become future pet therapy teams and share the gratification of pet therapy visits," said Dennis Cajili (and 'Riley'), Paws 4 Healing, LA Chapter Coordinator.

'This is a picture book about life as a family, told with humor and affirmation...We had requests to read and re-read this book every evening for a week ... Buy! This is a book that will be enjoyed over and over, for a long time' (The Reading Tub).

Lisa Dunn-Dern produces/hosts children's programming for ETV Ethiopian Television, and co-produces/co-hosts an Internet radio program with her teenage daughter on BigMediaUSA.com. She previously was a staff writer on the HBO-Fox series "ROC," and directed children's theater in Los Angeles. Her passionate commitment to children's learning and literature has been recognized with awards and an endowment in her name. Her first children's book, 'Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow,' featured the same interracial family in a universal story. It was praised by Diane Keaton, Diahann Carroll and Mac Davis, among others. Dunn-Dern was recently interviewed on Disney Radio in Los Angeles, The Michael Dresser Show, and by Pam Vetter (http://valleynews.com/TheValley/Stories/News/About-Town/Story~396388.aspx)

The book is available at amazon.com and other online and regular booksellers. For more information, visit www.derngoodbooks.com. Great gift idea for the holidays and beyond.

When An Interest-only Mortgage Is A Good Idea
An interest-only, mortgage is not a particular type of loan in itself; instead it is an option that becomes added onto another loan. It works rather simply. For a predetermined period of time, typically 5, 7, or 10 years, the buyer only pays the interest portion of the loan amount. After this initial period is up, the mortgage becomes fully amortizing and the owner is required to pay both the interest and principal portions of the loan. Because the payment amount of the loan becomes substantially higher after the interest-only period, this type of loan is recommended only under the following circumstances:
