DWPC member Jen Reeder is being inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Dog Writers Association of America next month. Jen says: “I feel strange sharing good news when there’s so much anguish in Southern California, but it’s the honor of a lifetime. None of this would have happened without the chance to work with top-notch editors, referrals from colleagues, and that fateful day in 2010 when Bryan and I walked into an animal shelter in New Mexico and decided to adopt our first dog, Rio. Adopting a dog was a life-changing and career-changing experience! I’m incredibly grateful and look forward to celebrating with Tux, my family and fellow dog writers at the DWAA Awards Banquet on Feb. 8 at the Hotel New Yorker in NYC.”

DWAA, founded in 1935, is the nation’s oldest professional organization dedicated to those involved in promoting the interest of dogs. For more on the award, click here.
