While signing copies of her book in Sioux City today, Myron talked about her "chance" relationship with this beloved library cat.

"We had a bond that I've never had with another animal. There's no way to put that into words. I can't explain it, but I know that when I looked into his eyes that I was seeing an old soul in a cat's body. And, that's exactly what he was," said Vicki Myron, author of Dewey.
