Nearly 70 Million Pet guardians in the United States prove
that they hold an integral place within families. Devoted
owners celebrate their birthdays, worry when they are sick
and speak to them like they would their closest friend. In
society pets hold a place beyond companionship—they
contribute to healing the physically and emotionally sick,
lending sight to the blind, alerting us to danger, and even
saving lives.
Within TAILS, readers will find testimony by luminaries and
devoted pet-owners. Award-winning author Amy Tan shares an
original poem "Ode to Our Perfect Companions," writes the
book’s forward and reflects, "My little animal playmates
taught me other lessons as well: the fragility of life, the
sanctity of a good one, and the sorrow that can come in the
sword slice of a second." While Robin Williams’ dogs tell
his family to "Please Stop Traveling," and seven-year old
Aryssa confides in her snake "I love you Eve because you are
my baby for almost four years…we are growing together!!"
Without their knowing it, pets are one thing that levels the
human playing field and creates an instant connection
between people. It’s no wonder that U.S. Presidents have
been seen walking across the White House lawn with their
dogs. Pets are allowed in major stores and hotels, and are
now more widely accepted in the workplace. The tech industry
is famous for their dog-friendly work environment with
Google as the latest adoptee.
With 100% of all proceeds going to animal welfare non-profit
organizations, Tails of Devotion is a great gift in so many
ways.
