About the Author, Dr. Mark Bruce…

Mark Bruce grew up with a love for dogs. This
became a focal point of Mark’s childhood when the
President and Mrs. Kennedy gave him the “pupnik”
named Streaker, the grand-pup of Strelka, the first
dog to orbit earth in a Soviet Sputnik spaceship, and
return alive. Mark maintained a pen-pal relationship
with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, with many
personal letters, from the 1960’s until the 1980’s.
Today Mark is an emergency medicine physician in
Wisconsin, a husband of 42 years to his wife Moira E.

O’Brien-Bruce, DO, and a father and grandfather to 5 children, and 7
grandchildren.
Mark has traveled with the international medical ministry in Central America,
Asia, Europe, and Africa, and led many teams into the Asian disaster zones for
medical relief work.
In addition to clinical duties, Mark is the Ambassador to Belize and Canada for
the American College of Emergency Physicians.
