About the Author – Grace Kavanaugh
At the heart of Grace Kavanaugh’s poetry is a deep love for animals—especially her beloved dog, Bobby. Their connection has been a constant source of comfort, inspiration, and quiet wisdom. In Bobby’s gentle presence, Grace found a mirror for life’s pauses: moments of stillness, loyalty, and unconditional love. This soulful bond became the heartbeat of her debut poetry book, Paws Connection, and continues to guide her journey as both a writer and a mindful living advocate.
