#97 "We Were Meant to Take Care of Her, But She Ended Up Taking Care of Us"

Join family therapists and authors Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio as we share Jennifer's story about her Reuben, a dog who was not only a cherished family member but also a YouTube personality, and David's story about his beloved cat, CC. Starting life as a kitten rescued from the streets of New York City, CC became a crucial support for David through two major losses before her own passing.
