The book, The Fables of Maui and Momma Cat, is a true story about the relationship between two of my pets living close together and the effect they had on my life and the staff at Camden Pet Hospital. The brevity of animal lives can be a poignant reminder for humans to appreciate the present and the profound connections they share with their animal companions. While an animal's life may be short, the love and lessons they impart can have a lasting and meaningful impact on human lives long after they are gone.
