Author Description

A Dog's Life, as told through the voice of a West Highland white terrier named Casey, relates his experiences from being picked from his litter and taken to his new home to meeting an exotic butterfly that leads him to a place called the Rainbow Bridge. Young children will enjoy the original watercolor illustrations that depict such experiences as Casey's first bath, going to school, playing with friends, and learning about nature. Lourene Nevels, Ph.D., has spent her professional career as a licensed psychologist in private practice, as director of a university counseling center, and as a college professor. Her previous publications include a book about the development of distinguished women psychologists. Dr. Nevels is a life-long lover of animals; she is a docent at the Philadelphia Zoo and cares for hundreds of hummingbirds that migrate to her home in Pennsylvania. A Dog's Life is her first children's book.
