About the Author

Growing up with asthma and severe allergies in rural Southern Michigan, Aaron was not able to have any pets. He and his wife didn’t get Jet, their first dog, until he was thirty-five years old. From that day forward, Aaron knew that he wanted to work in a field related to animal care and well-being. Five years later, Aaron and his wife, Robynn, were living in Northern Arizona, and Aaron got a job with a limited-admission animal-care facility in Flagstaff. Throughout his first year working as an adoptions counselor, Aaron learned a lot about dogs and cats and the world of animal care in general. Finding the homeless and unwanted animals permanent homes and responsible pet parents brings much joy to Aaron’s life. Some of the animals Aaron got to know over the last year, he uses as characters in these stories. The stories Aaron writes are designed not only to entertain but also to educate and start a discussion about the state of animal welfare. As homeless and stray dog and cat populations skyrocket into the millions, Aaron’s hopes are that people will start giving shelters that ever important first look before electing to buy from a breeder. Aaron and his wife, Robynn, currently reside in Northern Arizona with their three dogs—Jet, Sam, and Penny. When he’s not working, Aaron enjoys writing and playing music and getting involved in community theater.
