On 10 Mar 2019, Mark’s life turned upside down. His bicycle under steered through the corner and he fell into a stormwater drain.

“Me and Mr Monks” penned by the author Dawn M Blair is an interesting story.

Once the author along with her husband went to attend an adoption event at the Chesterfield CountyAnimal Shelter in Chesterfield County, Virginia. There, the author’s eyes fell on a cute toy dog. She talked about taking the dog in.

Dawn gave the name Mr Monks to her toy dog. She believes Mr Monks to be her foster dog through Ring Dog Rescue. Mr Monks attached himself to his new owner from day one. Even the author got attached to him. Since he had separation anxiety, he followed her everywhere.

It was interesting to know about Mr Monks’ professional photoshoots. Losing a pet is heartbreaking and the pain that comes with it is too much. The writing style of the author is nice.
