Ludington: Mattie, Milo, and Me: Unexpected Healing Through the Heart of a Dog
Anne Abel will discuss her powerful memoir, Mattie, Milo, and Me, which explores the transformative role her dogs played in her mental health journey. Growing up in an abusive home led Anne to struggle with depression and a deep commitment to breaking the cycle as a mother. After reluctantly adopting her first dog, Mattie, she experienced profound healing. But when Mattie' sudden death pushed her deep into depression, adopting Milo, a challenging dog with a history of aggression, became another unexpected path to growth. Anne's story is one of resilience, love, and a deep connection between humans and their pets as they help us heal in ways we never imagined. Join Anne for an inspiring conversation about grief, healing, and the power of second chances.
