About The Author
“As a pet parent myself to numerous dogs over the years, I fully appreciate your concern about the future of your dog’s care. That’s why I wrote this book: so all of our dogs could be protected from an unknown fate. With 15 years working in the pet industry and also being actively involved in animal rescue, I’ve seen far too many sad outcomes for dogs that could have been avoided with a little preplanning. We’ve had a problem, but now we have a solution in What About the Dog?, and all of our dogs will now benefit as a result.”
