  Oliver For Young Readers

  $16.99

  Oliver for Young Readers shares the heartwarming true story of a man searching for a beloved lost dog and finding more than he’d ever hoped for.

  When Steven Carino discovered his dog, Oliver, had been stolen from his car, he knew he would do anything to get Oliver back. The friendly Yorkie-Shih Tzu mix – with his bundle of black and brown hair, long floppy ears, and big round eyes – had been Steven’s companion during even the loneliest days. But it took more than one man to bring Oliver home. It took a community of friends and strangers who believed that love is worth fighting for.

  Oliver for Young Readers is a story of good people – including hardworking immigrants, wealthy suburbanites, car mechanics, deli workers, old friends, close relatives, street cops, a dedicated TV news reporter, and one very gifted hairdresser – offering help without asking for anything in return. It’s a story of near misses, false hopes, and fresh leads ending in a joy-filled reunion on the streets of a rundown New York neighborhood. It’s a story of faith renewed and hope restored. But most of all, Oliver for Young Readers offers a story of good triumphing over despair – a beautiful reminder to even the youngest readers that a little kindness can truly change the world.

  Oliver : The True Story Of A Stolen Dog And The Humans He Brought Together

  $18.99

  The remarkable, life-changing true story of a lonely man, his lost dog, and the astonishing array of strangers who brought them back together.

  On February 14, 2019, someone stole Steven Carino’s dog Oliver, a fourteen-pound Yorkie Shi-Tzu mix, from his car. Having lost his mother at thirteen and grown up with an alcoholic, abusive father, Steven’s primary friendships were with dogs. Now, in the wake of a romance disintegrating, Steve was left utterly alone.

  Then, the miracle: in a series of near-impossible coincidences, people from different walks of life crossed paths with Oliver and with Steven. There were sightings, near misses, fresh leads, and false hopes. Striving immigrants, wealthy suburbanites, heroic reporters, car mechanics, deli workers, old friends and relatives, street cops, gang members, and one very gifted hairdresser all entered the story. And in the middle of it all, Steven realized that no one is ever truly alone. Losing Oliver was not the end of a story but just the beginning, a story of unexpected faith and compassion. Oliver is a dog story, but it is also a love story, a timeless, resonant tribute to the power of love, kindness, community, and faith.
