Hevine Schmidt owns a rescue ranch in Colorado where the animals stick around, even after they die. This true story about respecting and caring for our animal friends while they are here on earth, reminds us of our spiritual connections through life and death. Hevine Schmidt was inspired to write, "Angels Come in All Shapes & Sizes," because of her love of animals that began when she was a child. In 1996, she and her family, created a private sanctuary called Little Feet Ranch, a haven for menagerie. Although Hevine started the rescue to respect and care for animals, she did not realize how much the animals would change her life. In 2004, Hevine took a photograph where she discovered images of animal spirits. Through the urging of her family and friends, Hevine shares her true story, explaining just how special animals and their connections really are. In 2009, Hevine authored "Every Precious Moment," a coffee-table book created to help transcend cancer through courageous dedications and spectacular photographs of nature. She is currently working on a children's series and a novel.
