Joy Butler studied writing through correspondence and online courses and currently writes feature articles for the Suite101 Dogs topic after retiring her Texas and Extraordinary Animals topic and a brief stint as Science & Nature editor. She also authored the Suite courses, Vegetarian Diet, Pet Ownership, and Training Puppies, freelances with The Writers' Bridge, is a medical laboratory technologist, and a pet shelter worker whose inspiration is Isaiah 11:6-9.
As a lifetime animal lover, Joy spent many childhood hours on horseback, exploring nature with her collie. These adventures led her to the rehabilitation of various wildlife creatures. Wild birds still flock to the feeders around her home near the Texas Gulf coast.
Over the years, she has enjoyed training and showing dogs in various capacities, and today, three rescued terriers and a chiweenie share her home. The journey to love is sometimes long, but its destination can be an unexpected miracle. Her story, I Love You Carly, appeared on Chicken Soup for the Soul dog food bags.
