Lily Tanzer

Lily Tanzer is a native Texan, born and raised in Austin. Always intrigued by human behavior, she earned a degree in Psychology from the University of Texas in 1985. At the age of twenty six, she welcomed a renegade dog into her life who further extended her studies in behavior – human and canine.

This furry soulmate, Keisha, introduced her to the subtleties (and sometimes dramas) of life with a dog and inspired Lily to chronicle her experiences in her first book Travels with the Doggie Lama.

Lily continues to be enamored with her four-legged family members and has been delighted to learn of the rich, often secret, lives of her canine friends. She has come to understand that every dog has a story; a story that is meaningful and filled with the only thing that really matters in life: love (and maybe a few giggles).
