Prof. David Walsh, Ph.D.

My name is Prof. David Walsh, Ph.D., and my interest in pets is the combination of both experience and research. I have learned, through the years, what animals contribute to our well-being, attitudes and habits, day-in and day-out, and I am anxious to share the results of my findings in print.

My concerns deal with the entertainment of our relationships to our pets as seen through the spectacles of writing, research and practical advice. I want to improve our knowledge of the reasons present in the utter exultation, restfulness, and companionship which pets contribute to our daily lives.

Outside of my research, I spend my time with my pets, working with the various local and nearby humane societies, and studying the habits and behavior of animals. Every pet has a story, and I enjoy both learning and communicating them.
