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.

Story
More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

Story
Animals bring out the goodness, humanity, and optimism in people and speak directly to our souls. This joyous, inspiring, and entertaining Chicken Soup collection relates the unique bonds between animals and the people whose lives they've changed: such as the dolphins who helped a paralyzed woman heal when doctors offered little hope; the dog who brought life into a failing marriage; the kitten who helped a mother mourn; and the flying squirrel who taught a man the power of laughter.
