He powerfully reinforces the concept and importance of the human-animal bond, and that bond is evident in nearly everything he writes. Pieces of My Heart comes closer to speaking the minds of our non-human animal brethren and speaking up for Creation than anything else you’ll ever read.” Dick Weavil, Publisher, AnimalTalk newsletter Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts!
