Tanya

By E. Lee Vought

Tanya was a significant part of our lives for fourteen years and four months. Our story of joy and love, as well as sadness, is shared by dog owners everywhere. Sharing our story and giving tribute to Tanya helped us ease the pain of her departure. Her unconditional love and loyalty encouraged us to be better humans, as only the wonderful animal world can teach.

A portion of the royalties received will be given to animal welfare agencies.
