Liz’s winning books: “ASPCA KIDS: Animals At Work,” co-authored with Dr. Katherine Miller and “Puppy Love.” You can buy copies through her Web site or order through any book store or online retailer.

Here’s the complete list of winners, with many other names familiar to our readers.

Congratulations, all!

  1. Wow. Congrats to the PetConnection staff.

    I thought it was interesting that one of the mentioned DWAA recipients was an individual that trained with me a few years ago.
