A Dog’s Love is a love unlike any other. It is a love that holds us and keeps us warm. For every person, there is a dog love that sits within their heart. For me, that dog love came at the time I needed it most, a time when I felt like I was failing. Little did I know, we had more in common then I had thought. He wasn’t just a dog he was my everything. For most of the time it was just him and I. We went everywhere together. He was there for every up and down. We faced every challenge together. As my life began to expand, so did his. We became a family. Life got busy with kids, and chaotic as you can imagine. Yet even as he grew older, he always stayed loyal and provided a safe space for me to be present and unwind. A Dog's Love takes us on a journey through life’s struggles. They stay by our sides through every adventure and disappointment. This book represents the power of “A Dog’s Love” and how we carry it with us through the rest of our life. It is about bringing connection in the story of our adventures, and comfort in saying goodbye when the story ends. Although Axel and my story has ended, I know he is still by my side for every bump life encounters. A Dog’s Love is never dying, even when they have crossed the rainbow bridge, we still carry them with us everywhere we go.

As a child of divorce, I had a lot of uncertainty and change in my life growing up. As each dog love entered my life, with them they brought comfort and security. I am a mom of three beautiful children and have been married for eight years. I work in the community as a nurse, as well as at the local hospital. I decided to write this book shortly after saying goodbye to my dog of fourteen years. He was my everything. We met at a time in my life where I was struggling. I was working as a Veterinary Technician, single and living on my own. His love was exactly what I needed in that time of my life. Unknown to me when we met, we had more in common then I thought. Writing has always been a passion of mine, but one I gave up shortly after high school. After having children, I have begun to dive back into it as a way to hold emotions and cope. I hold power in the words I place on a page, and bring comfort to those who read them. I spent eight years as a Veterinary Technician before deciding to change careers. I have witnessed and felt the impact a dog's love provides to their owner. I have seen and felt first hand how important their existence in our lives truly is. I wrote this book to honor this bond and this love. May you find comfort in my words.
