     Dr Melvin is DEFINITELY an author: https://bookshop.org/p/books/chasing-space-an-astronaut-s-story-of-grit-grace-and-second-chances-leland-melvin/c9e2399270760ff6?ean=9780062496737&next=t

     Anyone whose dogs love him that much is ABSOLUTELY okay by me. Dogs never fake that much enthusiasm.
