Wendy Pirk has been an animal lover for as long as she can remember. As a child, she dreamed of being a veterinarian but decided instead to pursue a degree in Ecological Anthropology. She is a serious environmentalist and has worked for the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. She is currently a writer and editor and has several books about animals to her credit.Wendy has a two dog and two cat family.oh, and kids as well. She solemnly swears that she has never, nor will she ever dress a dog in a frilly pink tutu. But she lives in a winter city, so maybe doggie coats and booties?? And one of the dogs is handicapped, so he has a wheelchair.

But that's it. Really. She would also like to own a sheep to mow her lawn so she doesn't have to.well, she'd actually like to have a whole herd of sheep to rent out to her friends and neighbors! And maybe a donkey, too, because they're so cute!.
