FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Woof! Celebrates Lifelong Love, Music And The Wonderful World Of Canines
Austin, TX, July 10, 2019 — Retired music professor and accomplished musician Robert Freeman shares reflections of his 42-year marriage, their 17 canine companions and his remarkable career as an educator in WOOF! A Love Story of Dogs, Music, and Life.
Freeman was a music school director when he fell in love with his assistant, Carol. Throughout their union they created a loving home for 17 dogs, all of which are featured through striking photography between the covers of Woof! This book is a celebration of true love — between people and between people and animals — and beautifully relates the eternal truth that the world would be a better place if everyone simply took good care of each other.
