What a thoughtful and insightful piece! The timing is ironic as I recently added a dog character to my current writing project and it's been a gift, elevating the work and increasing engagement. So not only are these 4-legged fur-friends therapy and inspiration off the page, but also on the page.

Another inspired and insightful piece. Anthony.

I haven’t had a dog since I was a kid although at times have longed for one. Cats filled a large portion of my adult life and they like your dogs accompanied me during my bouts of creativity. So I understand the grounding presence you speak of. My partner’s allergies and a busy life keep us from having a furry companion. But perhaps I can create an imaginative pup at my feet as I toil at the keyboard.

Thank you, Terry. As you know, things can get a little hectic in the publishing world. My dogs ground me. Enjoying your articles on this format as well. Cheers!

I loved reading about your dogs Mr. De Sa! My kids thought it was hilarious that your dog peed on a family trying to have a picnic. Haha 😄

Let me tell you, it wasn’t funny for that family. They cursed me and my dog and rightly so. I’m glad they had a laugh. Thanks for subscribing.
