All proceeds benefit homeless animals. Why Do People Have Pets, is written by Barry KuKes, Community Outreach Director of Halifax Humane Society located in Daytona Beach, FL. The book consists of seventy-six columns written between 2017 and 2020 for the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Seniors Today Magazine. Some of the columns are more informational, while others are stories about a specific animal finally finding their forever home. An animal lover since he was a boy, Mr. KuKes states openly that he is one of those people who believe the first thing that happens when you arrive at the pearly gates is being greeted by the pets you have lost over the years. He would gladly pick up poop from sixteen dogs and one cat he once called best friend, if he could spend eternity with them by his side. The first ten columns are-Column One - Why Do People Have Pets? Column Two - I Wish I Could Help Them All Column Three - A Bumpy Journey to Happiness Column Four - Steps to Take If Your Pet Goes Missing Column Five - The Heart of a Child Column Six - Even Goldfish Need a Home Column Seven - Feral Cats and What to Do About Them Column Eight - Senior Dogs and Cats Column Nine - The Cost of Care for a Shelter Animal Column Ten - Time, Patience, and Love All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to benefit shelter animals.
