Prudence R . Millear
Dedication
This book comes from the warmth and love of our furry friends , for the joy of my family and human friends , and for laughter we share together
For my parents and grandparents , who showed by their actions how to be cheerful , pleasant , and resilient , regardless of what was happening
For my dearest Pete , best of husbands , and keen observer of the Dogs that star in this book ,
For my children , dearest ones , I am a fortunate mother to say you are mine !
For my sister , brothers , cousins , and friends , for being partners in so many happy times together , and
For my colleagues , who laughed with me and workshopped the Barking Dog Index when it was just beginning -
Thank you everyone !
