Meet Mac & Grace- The Inspirations Behind the Book
This book is dedicated to Mac, our furry family member – every day, we miss you and love you always. Mac rescued our family. Everyone who met Mac fell in love with him. He was gentle and full of spunk. When we first met him at the shelter he had been returned many times and was healing from a recent surgery. Mac was a sweetheart and our best friend. We hope by sharing this story, he will live on in your hearts as he does in ours.
