Growing up on a ranch west of Helena, Montana, Troy Kechely
developed a strong connection with the land and the animals he cared for. That connection is evident in all his
narrative writing today and inspired his debut novel Stranger’s Dance. Kechely’s
short stories and poems about the relationship between humans and dogs have
been published in Dog and Kennel Magazine
and numerous newsletters and websites of canine rescue groups. He is also the author of the instructional
non-fiction book Management of Aggressive
Canines for Law Enforcement.
As founder of Big Sky Rottweiler Rescue, a non-profit
Rottweiler rescue group, Kechely took his passion for working with difficult
dogs and grew it into a multi-state operation that has saved and rehabilitated hundreds
of dogs since 1997. This devotion grew
into a consulting business that provides expert testimony and classes on canine
aggression and bite injury.
