TAF Interview Series: A Lovely Conversation w/ Dreama Denver: Author, Advocate, & Wife of Bob Denver, TV’s Beloved Gilligan

In this episode, we have a super fun conversation with Dreama Denver, pet adoption advocate, actress, mother, devoted wife of Bob "Gilligan" Denver, and 3x award-winning author that includes her most recent new book, Zen and Now (illustrated by Jan Philpot). A delightful tale of the power of an animal's love and talks about the doggie adventures of Zen, Dreama's beautiful Husky-mix, who was rescued just in time and adopted. Her book elaborates the importance of pet adoption and the difference it brings to their life when they get a forever home.

This beautiful book has received high praise, including an International Book Award in Children's Mind, Body, and Spirit category at the Indie Book Awards. "This book poured out of me because I wanted to make sure my Zen lived on in a tangible way, so this recognition means the world to me," says a humbled Dreama' Mrs. Gilligan' Denver.

Zen and Now, published by Headline Books, with its visually rich and appealing text and graphics are delightful and entertaining for all ages. (Available through www.bobdenver.com, and Amazon).

"When adopting a dog, look into its eyes to see its soul and what you'll find is a creature staring back at you, looking straight into your heart," says Dreama.
