Laura Kochan is an animal lover and a people love in equal parts. The empathy, respect, and devotion she shows to all animals is echoed in all her relationships with people. She anticipates needs and searches for a way to fill them, and doesn't quit until she is satisfied with the result, and her friend (animal or otherwise) has been fed, comforted, encouraged, and supported. I recommend her most highly.
