I tell  dog stories.

For as long as I can remember I have been reading and telling dog stories. Now I write about dogs,the human-animal connection, and animal assisted therapy.

My experience as a Certified Professional in Health Care Quality and Humane Education Specialist informs my writing. My work has appeared in books, journals, magazines,blogs and print media.

A member of the Dog Writers  Association of America, I am proud to be a past winner of the DWAA Maxwell Award for Best Blog . My new book DOGS IN HEALTH CARE  is about the pioneer dogs of health care and moments in history when the human- animal bond propelled health care forward.

Now Available   at McFarlandbooks

And at Amazon in paperback and Kindle
