It seems like no matter what site I happen to be browsing on the internet, I always stumble across animal lovers–even in the most unlikely places.

For example, since I write quite a bit I often scan writing blogs and try to keep up with the latest information on publishing and writers’ groups.

Perusing the Central Ohio Fiction Writers’ web site, I discovered that one of the COFW members, New York Times Best Selling Author, Lori Foster, collaborated on a book called Tails of Love. The proceeds from the sale of this book, which features an anthology of animal stories, benefit AAF, Animal Adoption Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter in Hamilton, Ohio.

Wow! I had no idea.

My next surprise came on the Guide to Literary Agents Blog. While checking out the rules for the Dear Lucky Agent Contest, I discovered that editor Chuck Sambuchino has a category called “Dog Stuff” in his blog. The very first photo on that page featured his dog Graham reading a book (no, seriously, it did–click on the link and go look at the picture!).

Even on The TUTs Adventurers Club web site, positive thinking guru, Mike Dooley is posing with his dog.

Mike Dooley and best bud.

Mike always says, “Thoughts Become Things…choose the good ones!” Somehow, animals must always be on my brain and in my thoughts even when I am in realms beyond animal rescue. Because of this, I seem to find animal lovers like myself everywhere I go.

I don’t mind that at all.
