During that time, I had written over 100 columns about animal welfare and caring for pets. Since then, the \u003cem\u003eDaytona Beach News-Journal\u003c\/em\u003e became part of the \u003cem\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/em\u003e Network, and the network decided to make my column available to all 2,400 newspapers which are part of the network. This was fantastic news, but unfortunately, they forgot to tell me about the expansion of distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI began to receive emails from Indianapolis, IN; Naples, FL; Aspen, CO; Newark, NJ; and more. I couldn't figure out how these people were reading my column until one reader finally stated the name of the newspaper as being the \u003cem\u003eIndianapolis Star\u003c\/em\u003e. The columns are also available online, but why would someone in Aspen, CO read the \u003cem\u003eDaytona Beach News-Journal\u003c\/em\u003e? It was a strange set of circumstances, but a welcome surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of the book kept asking when the next book of columns would be available. Since publishing the last book, I have written over 100 columns. I have selected 64 of the columns I consider the best of the best, and those are included in this latest book, \u003cem\u003eWhy Do Pets Have People?\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThank you for purchasing or downloading this book.
