About The Author
JONNI D’ANGELO-SMART
Dogs have always been more than just companions—they’ve been family. Born and raised in Hayward, California, her earliest memories include Chihuahuas bred by her mother and sharing her father’s home with a Great Dane and even a sheep. Her lifelong bond with animals began early and continued to shape her life’s journey. After a 27-year career soaring the skies as a flight attendant, her path was forever changed by a battle with breast cancer and a heart ablation, which led to early retirement. It was during this time that Chloe, a magnificent Bichon Poodle, entered her life and became her cardiac alert dog, offering companionship, strength, and unconditional love throughout twelve unforgettable years. This heartfelt book is a touching tribute to that unbreakable bond—an exploration of love, solace, and resilience through the eyes of a dog.
