At lunch yesterday at Manhattan’s Bricco on West 56th Street, I was lucky enough to meet the ebullient Wendy Diamond, the founder and editorial director of Animal Fair, the lifestyle magazine passionately devoted to saving animal lives by focusing on animal rescue. Wendy is also the author of many fantastic books, currently the indispensable It’s a Dog’s World: The Savvy Guide to Four-Legged Living, which will head up the bestseller list during Wendy’s upcoming 15-city book tour.

The latest issue of Animal Fair has Charlize Theron on its cover, pictured on the beach with her soulful rescue dog, Tucker. Previous cover interviews at Animal Fair include everyone from Beyonce and Halle Berry to Serena Williams and Kim Cattrall, all of whom support Wendy’s lifelong mission to save the lives of animals.

Over a period of fifteen years, I confided pretty much all my feelings to her, all the ups and downs of life.

But our communication wasn’t only in one direction, for Katie was an empathetic, curious dog, socially outgoing and astutely intelligent. Right from the start, I got into the habit of having conversations with her, eye to eye, and I could tell that she clearly understood the gist of what I said:

“Now, listen up, child,” I told her when she was young. “You’re a good little dog, you are, but you have to learn your manners. No biting, no scratching your nails on the furniture, no getting up on the white couch, and no accidents.
