Murray wrote his first book during the pandemic, inspired by his rescue pup ‘Bailey’. Murray and his wife have several rescue animals, including three Chihuahuas and a cat. When Murray and his wife began dating, Bailey, the most timid of the three puppies, would only approach Murray’s wife when she was lying down on the couch, floor, or bed. Murray noticed that Bailey seemed fearful of his wife and others when they were standing up, finding them tall and intimidating. However, when Murray’s wife lay down, Bailey would eagerly jump on the bed, run up to her, sit by her head, and affectionately kiss her nose.
