About Me

Jill Lenk Schilp

Humane Educator, Writer

For as long as I can remember I have been reading and telling dog stories. I grew up believing that a girl and her dog could save the world. After working over 30 years in health care, I discovered I was right .Dogs do amazing things that change our world- for the better.

I wanted to tell their stories.

Now I write at the intersection of animals and human health. My experience as a Certified Professional in Health Care Quality and Humane Education Specialist informs my writing. My work has appeared in books, journals, magazines,blogs and print media.

A member of the Dog Writers Association of America, I am proud to be a past winner of the DWAA Maxwell Award for Best Blog . My book DOGS IN HEALTH CARE is about the pioneer dogs of health care and moments in history when the human- animal bond propelled health care forward.
