Publisher's Summary

It’s been two years since I published Why Do People Have Pets?, a collection of 75 newspaper columns I wrote for the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Seniors Today. During that time, I had written over 100 columns about animal welfare and caring for pets. Since then, the Daytona Beach News-Journal became part of the USA Today Network, and the network decided to make my column available to all 2,400 newspapers which are part of the network. This was fantastic news, but unfortunately, they forgot to tell me about the expansion of distribution.

I began to receive emails from Indianapolis, IN; Naples, FL; Aspen, CO; Newark, NJ; and more. I couldn’t figure out how these people were reading my column until one reader finally stated the name of the newspaper as being the Indianapolis Star. The columns are also available online, but why would someone in Aspen, CO read the Daytona Beach News-Journal? It was a strange set of circumstances, but a welcome surprise.

Fans of the book kept asking when the next book of columns would be available. Since publishing the last book, I have written over 100 columns. I have selected 64 of the columns I consider the best of the best, and those are included in this latest book, Why Do Pets Have People?

Thank you for purchasing or downloading this book. Your kindness and generosity are much appreciated. Remember, adopt, don't shop.
