Imagine if you were repaid for a lifetime of love with a death sentence. Such is often the plight of senior dogs who are homeless after their owners die. Many would-be pet owners visit shelters with thoughts of taking home an adorable puppy and overlook the joy an adult dog can bring. With senior dogs, there’s no chewing on slippers, no teething problems, and often impeccable manners. One of my friends adopted a brother and sister pair of senior Schnauzers who’d never been apart, Malice and Chaos. Both are incredibly well-mannered, lovely dogs that have showered her with affection.
Knowing the plight of senior dogs, I am one of 14 authors who have banded together to create a box set with 14 brand new mysteries—and the pre-order proceeds will all go to benefit shelters that specialize in caring for senior dogs. At 99 cents for the whole pack, these books are a real steal, and you’ll be doing a good deed, too!
