DEDICATION
In loving memory of our beloved deceased pets whose loyalty, faithfulness, and unconditional love have enhanced and enriched our lives. They have left us better than they found us, and for that, we are grateful.
Maggie N., your death and the tear-jerking response of your human companion was the motivation for my research. You were dearly loved.
Thank you, Maggie, Shaggy, Roger, Pablo, Kimna, Forrest, Mitch, Moe, Max and snowy for your unfailing love and devotion. Rest in peace. You are dearly missed.
