Publisher's summary

Why Do People Have Pets, is written by Barry KuKes, Community Outreach Director of Halifax Humane Society located in Daytona Beach, FL. The book consists of 76 columns written between 2017 and 2020 for the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Seniors Today Magazine.  

Some of the columns are more informational, while others are stories about a specific animal finally finding their forever home. An animal lover since he was a boy, Mr. KuKes states openly that he is one of those people who believe the first thing that happens when you arrive at the pearly gates is being greeted by the pets you have lost over the years. He would gladly pick up poop from sixteen dogs and one cat he once called best friend, if he could spend eternity with them by his side. 

The first ten columns are- 

Column One – Why Do People Have Pets?

Column Two - I Wish I Could Help Them All

Column Three - A Bumpy Journey to Happiness

Column Four - Steps to Take If Your Pet Goes Missing

Column Five - The Heart of a Child

Column Six – Even Goldfish Need a Home

Column Seven - Feral Cats and What to Do About Them

Column Eight - Senior Dogs and Cats 

Column Nine - The Cost of Care for a Shelter Animal

Column Ten - Time, Patience, and Love.
