#53 Finding Inspiration in Our Animal Companions' Life Stories

Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio.  We'll share a listener's story about their dog, who was born in torturous circumstances, triumphed over the resulting trauma, and went on to inspire those whose lives he touched. We'll talk about how each of us may find inspiration in the relationships we forge with our pets and the life stories they leave to us.    To learn more about the story shared by a listener see this article. We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions for future topics. Nancy can be reached at [email protected] and Ken at [email protected]. When you send us a personal story please include mention of whether or not you would be okay with us sharing it within a future episode.
