Sarah Ashford is a contributing writer at MelodyInsight, where she explores the emotional intelligence of cats and dogs, and the everyday ways they shape our lives. Her writing focuses on the quiet, meaningful bonds between people and their pets—how animals communicate affection, offer comfort, and mirror the rhythms of human life. Drawing on behavioral studies, veterinary insights, and countless stories from pet owners, Sarah brings warmth and curiosity to topics ranging from why cats sleep next to you to how dogs respond when you’re not feeling well. With a gentle, observant voice, she helps readers better understand their pets—and feel more understood in return.
