TOVA: A VERY SPECIAL DOG

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Author Joe Smiga Releases a Unique Memoir About A Beloved Pet’s Life: Tova
A book that is touching and enlightening at the same time

Manchester, NH – April 19, 2010 – Author Joe Smiga, a pet lover and family man, unveils his newest publication Tova, a novel inspired by the life of his beloved dog of the same name. The book, as with his first novel Behind the Lies, is published and available through Xlibris.

Tova is a book written as a tribute to the life of Joe Smiga’s dog, Tova. The author, together with his wife, experienced, as with many other pet owners, the many joys that come with having a pet dog. Tova, through many years in the Smigas’ life, brought love, fun, and devotion. This, however, came to a sudden stop at the onset of a hidden disease.

Cryptococcosis is a disease that, at the time of Tova’s life, was virtually unknown in the world of veterinary medicine. The relative lack of information on this disease contributed to the frustration and sadness brought by the dog’s sudden demise.

The author wishes to educate people about the illness. This book is made available for pet owners and veterinarians who still do not know about the dreaded Cryptococcosis disease. For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
