Woman's Best Friend

Catherine Rodriguez spent most of her life as an educator until she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1999. Honey Bear, a five-year old Pyrenees-shepherd-Labrador mix, and Catherine underwent a six-week long bonding period. Honey Bear so inspired Catherine, and Catherine so inspired Honey Bear that they have co-authored a book, "The World According to Honey Bear", a tail-wagging tale told in the first person. For the past three years, Catherine and Honey Bear have been inseparable. Read the rest of the story, and purchase a copy of the book to support programs and services that improve the quality of life for 60,000 individuals and family members affected by Parkinson's in San Diego County at www.parkinsonsassociation.org.
