Nancy Furstinger has been speaking up for animals since she learned to talk, and she hasn't shut up yet. She is the author of nearly 100 books, including many on her favorite topic: animals! She shares her home with big dogs, house rabbits, and a chinchilla (all rescued), and volunteers with several animal organizations.
