Signed Book GA- 5-WW-On Toby's Terms (A DOG BOOK WITH A SURPRISE HAPPY ENDING)-Charmaine Hammond-Ends 10/25

What a beautiful story about life with an extraordinary dog who was bound and determined to live his life on his own terms and in so doing taught his humans and many others the meaning of love, trust and compromise! My Mom tells a story about how when I was very young I would sit in my little chair in front of the TV to watch Lassie. She says that whenever Lassie was in trouble there would be tears running down my face--I haven't changed much. Oh I had to laugh at the antics Toby had to pull until it was finally figured out what the problem was--been there--done that with almost any dog or cat who has owned me-particularly with the cat I have now. I am stubborn and once in my apartment I will not give up--and neither did Toby's family!

I read this in one sitting--loving every single second of it as I am sure you will also! Thank you Charmaine Hammond from the bottom of my heart for telling the story of this remarkable dog and how it changed your life and the lives of many others as well and is still changing lives with Toby Jr.!!


When Charmaine and her husband adopted Toby, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, they figured he might need some adjusting time, but they certainly didn’t think he’d be a holy terror, beset by severe anxiety and destructive behavior that would take a miracle to curb. Turns out, Toby routinely opened and emptied closets, turned on water taps, and pulled things from the bookshelves. Oddest of all was his penchant for locking himself in the bathroom, and then push the lid of the toilet tank onto the floor, smashing it to pieces. After a particularly disastrous encounter with the knife-block in the kitchen—and when the couple discovered Toby’s blood and paw prints on the phone—Charmaine decided Toby needed professional help.

Little did she know what they would discover about this dog. And how he would change their lives.

Meet Toby Snr

A. Wells Photography

In an effort to get Toby’s behaviour under control, a K9 behaviourist worked with Toby on his behavioural issues and stated that Toby was a dog who needed a job, a purpose. Christopher and Charmaine found Toby a job as an Animal Assisted Therapy dog. After training and testing, Toby was approved as a volunteer with Chimo Animal Assisted Therapy and received a volunteer placement at an adult mental health hospital.

Wednesdays with Toby were life changing for the patients he visited, as well as for Charmaine and Christopher. While Toby was bringing unconditional acceptance and happiness to those he visited at the hospital, he was also becoming a teacher for Charmaine and Christopher, teaching them powerful life lessons, about patience, purpose, persistence, the power of unconditional acceptance, and showing up as your authentic self.

The patients that Toby worked with at the hospital and all of the children that he met in schools experienced the benefits of a therapy dog’s whose mission in life was to leave pawprints on hearts everywhere he went x
