I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That's why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.

I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.

For instance, it was very rare for anyone there with dogs to allow them into the house.

I had a fear of being alone.

I've never been without a dog. I've made trips across the country with a dog.

Besides individual things like thunder and gunshots, what dogs fear most is not belonging, being alone.

You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

I rescued a dog. It was a beautiful.

I needed a place to put the dogs. The prisoners ruined the jail, so I put the prisoners in the tents and I had a nice place to put the dogs. We treat the cats nice too, and horses. I have the inmates take care of the animals. It's therapy too, you see.

I do not have any pets. We travel too much.
