Walks with Sierra
Raised on a bucolic, 50-acre horse farm in Massachusetts, the author's love and respect of animals and the land came to her early.  Her chance encounter with a cold and tired stray, abandoned at the ripe old age of 14, was truly life altering. While she saved Sierra's life, the truth she says, is that it was he who saved hers.  An advocate for animal rescue, and senior dogs in particular, she now shares her home with a 13-year old purebred miniature poodle named Rex, one of the lucky dogs who got a second chance late in life because of the tremendous work of San Francisco's Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.
