I came to know Jenny when we both were up for Merial-Human Animal Bond Award from Dog Writer's Association of America.  We now follow each other via our blogs and Facebook and I am honored to know her.

I am currently reading her heart-warming book (though at times so hard to read because your heart aches for the animals).  But it is an honest look at what these animals had to go through, and Jenny's courage in going to Katrina to help these animals is truly beautiful.  I applaud her and all the others for what they did to help these animals who had no one else.

I'm so happy to annouce her newest press release and the awards she has won!!
