The two last book signings are this weekend: Friday, Edsel and I will be at Boulder Book Store in Boulder, Colorado at 5:30 p.m. And Saturday, because common sense has never been my strong suit, Bikini the pig will be accompanying me to The Book Bar in the highlands in Denver at 10:00 a.m. Hope to see you at one or both of these places. (Willamena is just in the pic to show off her new winter duds. @truefaithfulpetrescuemission had @snoodfairy make them just for her. Thank you both.❤) Link to purchase the book on my profile page. #theoneandonlywolfgang

Fotografije svoje "pseće zajednice" počeo je da objavljuje na Instagramu, a broj pratilaca rastao je iz dana u dan. Stiv na ovoj društvenoj mreži trenutno ima više od 900.000 pratilaca, a svima je zanimljivo da je, osim pasa, udomio i svinju, dva zeca, dve patke, četiri kokoške, dve mačke i ćurku koja ima 20 kilograma.

Svoju priču Stiv je podelio u knjizi "Jedan jedini Volfgang".

This is the first picture @melissamarkle and I took for the book and it holds a special place in my heart. (She actually took the picture, I just arranged the participants.) And at long last, The One and Only Wolfgang has been released. It will be at Barnes and Noble (link on bio), certain independent book stores across the country and Amazon. Target will start carrying it mid-October. I love taking care of these guys and showing the world how much love they have to give, and I love the message this book sends to kids.

Kada je njegov pas Volfgang uginuo, Stiv je želeo da uradi nešto dobro pa je otišao u azil i udomio jednog psa, prenosi Kliks. Njegova zajednica ubrzo se proširila, a Stiv je počeo da objavljuje fotografije pokazujući kako izgleda njegova svakodnevica sa životinjama.

"Ja sam poslednja osoba za koju biste očekivali da postigne uspeh na društvenim mrežama. Sve je bilo spontano, reakcije su bile pozitivne. Nisam nameštao fotografije, svaki dan je drugačije kada imate toliko ljubimaca. Ponekad dođem u dnevni boravak i vidim da kokoška sedi na psu pa to fotografišem", rekao je.

Njegova priča inspirisala je i druge ljude da počnu da udomljavaju starije pse, a njegova popularnost dovela je do toga da Stiv napiše knjigu u kojoj govori o tome da treba vrednovati stare stvari, a ne samo tražiti nešto novo.

Loretta will read anything so don't let her give you any book recommendations. But Betty the chicken, who is quite the movie enthusiast ( which granted, doesn't mean she knows anything about books but lets pretend it does, because she...) is highly recommending The One and Only Wolfgang (link in bio). Either that or she just wants more chicken feed, I'm still working out the kinks in interpreting her chicken noises. Stuart the rabbit is only in the photo as an attractive model to lure you in. He seldom endorses anything. #theoneandonlywolfgang coauthored by @maryrandhess

Životinje koje žive u Gregovoj maloj zajednici imaju dve prostorije u kući u kojima borave dok je on na poslu.

"Ljudi se uglavom čude i ne mogu da veruju koliko životinja imam u kući. Svi osim ćurke su u kući, ali ja sam zaista uredna osoba i sve imam pod kontrolom", rekao je Stiv, koji priznaje da ne bi mogao da funkcioniše bez pomoći spremačice.
