Pets and their quirks have been a part of Wendy
Bedwell-Wilson's life for as long as she can remember, but it was
through her profession that she grew to truly appreciate them. After
working in the publishing industry as a writer and editor for a
variety of pet-themed trade, consumer, and online magazines for nearly
15 years, she ventured outside the cubicle and delved into writing
professionally about four-legged friends from her home in
Hawaii.
Her work has appeared in a range of pet publications,
including Pet Product News, Veterinary Practice News, DogChannel.
com, Cat Fancy, Koi World, FAMA, Aquarium Fish, Cats USA, Kittens
USA, and the Popular Pets series. She completed one book -
Yorkshire Terriers for the Animal Planet Pet Care Library
series - before tackling Boston Terriers For Dummies. Her muses
include a rescued Pointer-Hound mutt named Pete and two spoiled cats,
Bubba and Benny. They're no Boston Terriers, but they're still little
gentlemen.
