1 Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to my dog Kenzie, who was the inspiration behind the main protagonist Starlight. Thank you for being you, the sweet, spoiled, and adorable you. I would like to thank her and Bexley for the countless times they barked, whined, and playfully growled to let me take a break. I would also like to dedicate this book to my other dog Bexley as well. Who is the pup of Kenzie, and is briefly mentioned in my book. This book is for you Kenzie, may you live forever and ever in our hearts as our Starlight. May my other dog Bexley always be with you as well. If there is one thing I know is that my dogs are my whole world, and this wouldn't have been possible without their own version of support. I would like to share one of my favorite quotes from a brilliant author which fits this description of my book.

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling

Even through the darkness, we all need to find our light within, our strength that helps us see the light at the end of the tunnel.
