Love and friendship: a pet’s greatest gifts to mankind. #PetsInSpace

It’s only FIVE days until the release of Pets in Space® 4! And I’ve got a fun visitor to the blog today, the awesome author Regine Abel, who is also a Pets in Space® 4 author! She’s here today to talk about Hero Dogs and Pets in Space® 4! Take it away, Regine!

Hero Dogs is such an amazing program which I discovered through the Pets in Space Anthology. I knew of guide dogs and detection dogs, but finding out about the hero dogs tickled me pink. Anything that helps improve someone’s quality of life is amazing. But to do so for those who have sacrificed so much in the defense and protection of others is beyond wonderful and well worth supporting.

While my books are sci-fi, with alien cultures and otherworldly species, they all tell tales that are relatable to us in the real world. One of my main focus is displaying how strong women can be, physically, mentally, and morally in the face of adversity. Even the most fragile, vulnerable-looking, or even damaged woman can rise when given the opportunity. Sometimes, you only need a nudge or the support of a friend to help you overcome the challenges that life has thrown your way and for your inner strength to shine.

To me, that is the best part of the Hero Dogs program. Those veterans are not only getting a helper to assist them in toppling over life’s hurdles, but they are also receiving the gift of unconditional love and friendship that only a pet can provide.

And that is a cause I can definitely get behind.

Speaking of strength, Victoria will need plenty of it to face the challenges that await her. Here’s a little snippet with Doom, Victoria, and Stran about to discover the extent of the Kryptid’s evil schemes:

—————

We pulled up in front of the retirement home serving as our hospital. I felt my stomach drop when I saw the front door gaping wide open. At first, I hadn’t noticed Stran, rolled up by the stairs, his dark scales having taken on the color of the concrete ramp for wheelchairs. But as soon as Doom stopped the hoverbike, Stran uncurled his body. Now, standing on all fours, his scales took back their natural dark shade, and he sniffed the air with his dragon snout. His lizard eyes locked with Doom’s, and some sort of communication passed between them. Stran shook his head as if to say no, then silently dashed into the building.

Doom looked at me and seemed to hesitate.

“You are not leaving me out here alone,” I said, guessing his dilemma.

I didn’t want to be in the thick of any battle, but no way in freaking hell would I hang out here to be snagged by some humanoid creepy crawler.
