Lee Stuart learned from an early age to respect all creatures through his heritage as a Native American; he also learned what it was like to be an unwanted citizen in this country. Throughout his life, he demonstrated an uncanny knack for understanding and communicating with animals, particularly those that were unwanted. From Teddy the Bantam rooster to Sparky the pigeon, as well as a wide variety of other pets, Stuart loved them all deeply and fought to protect them from ill treatment.

The deep bond that developed between himself and the unwanted black Labrador retriever his daughter named Boomer confirms that there is much to the master/dog relationship, which is poignantly demonstrated when Boomer saves Stuart's life in 1996

First-time author Lee Stuart pours his heart and soul into writing about the amazing bond he develops with his dog Boomer, who lived to be sixteen years old. From the very start of the book he demonstrates the unique ability to communicate with the animal world on different levels from chickens, pigeons, horses to man's best friend-dogs. Stuart, a Native American from the Sappony tribe of the High Plains Indians in the North Carolina and Virginia area, shares some of their basic Native American beliefs and value system about God's creatures. Flunking out of college in 1967, he was drafted into the Army, where he excelled and eventually became a career military officer traveling all over the world. He retired in 2002 and served as a military consultant in Iraq until December 2008. Upon his return back to the United States he felt compelled to once again help those who feel neglected, downtrodden, misunderstood and not listened to, thus he ran for an elected office and is currently the Mayor of Stockbridge, Georgia.
