Paw & Order
I wrote this book from my heart. My grandfather, Simon, and my mixedâ€"breed rescue dog, Soupbone, taught me about love and were my inspiration for what followed.
Soupbone disliked kennels and I worried about his fate if something ever happened to me.
That's why I created the Pet Protection Agreement pet trust, which assures uninterrupted care for animals when their owners are unable to care for them. It is a legally enforceable, fillâ€"in the blanks document that (and here comes the best part!) can be completed without a lawyer.
Now I want to pass down my legal expertise to the next generation. In fact, in this book, there is a full tearâ€"out form of the Pet Protection Agreement. The commitment we make to our pets is for the duration of their lives, not ours. It shouldn't stop when our ability to care for them ends.
All the work I do on behalf of people and their pets is inspired by Soupbone, whose spirit guides me still. I wanted to fix the law wherever it did not protect him. Soupbone changed my life, and his inspiration will change yours.
