Dogs show us dozens of tail wags. Some go slow, others fast, dogs can swing softly and thump the floor in a running tempo.
For my friend Kathy Hensel Porter, dogs must do their happy dance each time they set eyes on her. Why? Because Kathy respects, knows, understands, and loves dogs.
Kathy Hensel Porter
As Volunteer Director for the local chapter of a Greyhound Pets of America (GPA) organization, Kathy served on the board of directors from 1992-1997.
Kathy blogs at Healing Rescue Dogs.
Her blog tagline?
“You can change your life (with some help from your dog).”
She confesses on her blog Healing Rescue Dogs,
“…for 7 years, I lived head-over-heels, a personal 24/7 dog rescue experience.”
Exploring the relationship between people and dogs, I write about this powerful and emotional connection on Healing Rescue Dogs because I believe that dogs are natural teachers. All we have to do is actively listen to them.
Please visit and share one or two of her posts. Here is one of my favorites by Kathy.

After blogging for two years, Kathy wrote her first book: Love Always Wags Its Tail, The Dogs That Changed My Life.
It’s available on Amazon’s Kindle platform (digital download) and on Amazon’s Create Space (print-on-demand) in paperback.

This is unexpected and lovely. Thank you so much for your kind endorsement and for your friendship. We never would have connected without Blog Paws … well, perhaps we would have found each other eventually. So, here’s to the wonderful online community, Blog Paws, where so many pet bloggers come together.
Blog Paws helped us connect, our shared work of writing craft and animal welfare interests have made us friends. Cheers, Deborah
