Author hopes to show the love that can be shared by rescuing an animal
NEW YORK, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Virginia Loving Pope was an 18-year-old fashion model on location in Cartagena, Columbia when she noticed a sad-looking parrot in a wire cage for sale in the marketplace.
In "Torro, the Silly Parrot," this autobiographical story follows Pope and her new parrot, Torro, on several adventures, both in Columbia and then back home to New York City. Pope shares tales of Torro making friends with everyone he meets, from a bus driver in Columbia to a quarantined veterinarian in New York City. Torro also attends a baseball game and gets accidentally kidnapped.
"I rescued Torro," said Pope, "but really, he rescued me. Our life together was full of fun, excitement, and most of all, love."
Torro lived to be 40 years old, and became an integral part of Pope's life, and her New York City neighborhood. She even hosted birthday parties for the parrot, where he loved to play with all his new toys.
"Join Torro and I on his adventures in NYC and see all the fun and trouble he gets himself into," said Pope. "Torro had a mind of his own!"
