Raised in north Alabama, he currently lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, two children and his fourteen-year-old cat Kiki. Laura was born in Canada and later lived in the USA with three dogs and three cats before moving to England to marry Jim, a British Airways captain. After Jim died from cancer, Laura bought a Golden Retriever who she named Pilot. Now, seven years later she also has Pilot's offspring, Lily, who was born with a life-threatening swallowing disability. Lily's amazing story is told in Laura's first book, "Lily: One in a Million, A Miracle of Survival. " Lily now also features in a children's book, "The Adventures of Lily and the Little Lost Doggie," which was both written and illustrated by Laura. In 2019, Laura Hamilton was given a Citizen of Honour Award for her work with Lily and Pilot in Pets As Therapy's Read2Dogs programme in Fareham, Hampshire. Both Laura's books mention the work her 'girls' do in Read2Dogs.
