Pet Adoption - the story of Kelsey the Twice-Adopted Dog
In this interview, Barbara Bradley Bolen, Ph.D., About.com Guide to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, shares her story of Kelsey the dog. Kelsey is unique in that she was "twice-adopted" -- she beat the odds after being returned to the shelter and was adopted a second time. Bolen, a practicing clinical psychologist, writes about the issues they faced, what they did "wrong," what they did "right," and how everything turned out.
