Tranquility DeJure, February 22, 2016.

Hello there, and bonjour.

This is Kimberly Wilson, and I'm delighted to welcome you to the 364th edition of Tranquility DeJure.

Today's show is all about my old dog, this beautiful book by Laura Coffey, on rescued

pets with remarkable second acts.

So you're going to learn what's so special about senior dogs, how to help senior pets, even if you can't adopt or foster, and why she's a fan of George Clooney.

So I'm holding this book in my hand, and it's just absolutely stunning.

So it's put out by New World Library, so we have the same publisher.

And I have to say, this book is so beautifully shot, it's put out by New World Library. So we have the same publisher. And I have to say this book is so

beautifully shot. It's beautifully laid out. And I tell you, ever since I had this book of my hands,

I'm like, Tim, we have to get a senior dog too. So I keep sending him images of all these beautiful

like one-eyed senior pugs that I'm finding all over

the country. However, we think that Muki, our current rescued pup, who's in the two to four

age range, may be a solo pup kind of dog right now. So we'll see. Anyway, this book and this show, I think who has really, really

planted a seed for me and reminded me of just how special senior pets are. So I hope you too

will enjoy hearing what the lovely Laura has to say. So she is a longtime writer, editor, and producer for today.com, the website of NBC's

Today Show. A journalist with more than two decades of experience, Laura has written and edited

hundreds of high-profile human interest stories.

She has won numerous awards, including first-place feature writing awards for the Society for Features Journalism and the Dog Writers Association of America.

I should have to say, I love that there's a dog writers association of America, Laura.

Now, she lives in Seattle with her husband Michael, her son Tyler, and their dogs and cats.
