Writers to the rescue

And back home is Katie Scarlett O’Chowa, a 4-year-old
purebred chow found on Interstate 675 in Saginaw
”with cars skidding all around her.”
”They come from a long litany of rescued dogs at
our house,” says Christine Ida Rohr,
”and all four live in the house and sleep on our
bed. We also have two rescued (show and race) horses, one
which was a bag of bones when we got her.”
On this day, Louis, Bogey and Jewel are turning heads at
Synergy Medical Education Alliance, 1000 Houghton in
Saginaw, as they accompany mom on a newspaper interview
taking place in what is essentially a hospital — where
dogs normally do not roam.
Mom is Christine Ida Rohr, the senior vice president of
medical and academic affairs at Synergy, a physician
training center. She has worked in Saginaw eight years. She
and her accountant husband now live on a farm near Port
Huron — a 90-minute commute for Rohr. A medical doctor, she
has in the past practiced internal medicine and pediatrics.
Now she has added another title to her name — published
author.
Her ”Shelter Days” (Tate Publishing,
95 pages, $9.99) is, says the 52-year-old, the first of a
series of dog-driven books.
She and her publisher have a difference of opinion over
”Shelter Days.” Rohr wrote it aimed at
middle school readers to raise awareness about animal
rights; Tate Publishing lists it as adult fiction.
