They spent innumerable hours resting at my feet as I labored to edit the books and also frequently prompted me to take well-timed breaks for walks and other adventures. These intelligent, enthusiastic, and entertaining friends greatly enriched my life and continuously reminded me of how fortunate we are to share the world with animals.
