Kelly Preston is, first and foremost, an animal lover. Raised on a ten-acre property in a small town in Pennsylvania, she grew up with horses, rabbits, and – of course – dogs.

Mr. MaGoo is a nine-year-old Lhasa Apso and the book’s co-creator and co-writer.

Gizmo was Kelly’s first dog, teaching her responsibility and, in death, even more.

Betty Boop, with severe neurological disorders, was predicted to not survive her first year of life. How could it be possible that she is now closing in on her tenth?

Buffy, a thirteen-year-old Cocker Spaniel, entered the household as a severely abused dog with little hope for enjoying a normal life. But maybe a little hope was all that was needed.

Carla Mae is a nine-year-old Lhasa Apso with a story almost as sad as Buffy’s, leaving her a mistrusting, fearful dog with a profoundly damaged psyche. At least that’s how she arrived.
