Throughout our shared history, dogs and humans have co-evolved to become true partners. Because of my relationships with the dogs in my life, I am better equipped to adapt proactively in a changing world. Having committed to the canine-inspired lifestyle, dogs help me stay active, fit, happy and healthy! As one who trains service dogs, runs with dogs, and has survived devastating grief with dogs by my side, my life's work it to progress this healing movement!

LET'S READ!
Today, we began preparing for our upcoming trip to a local elementary school, where we will help kids who are struggling to read by providing them with non-judgmental reading companions. In this social therapy role, the dogs sit beside the kids and listen as they sound out words, motivated to learn by the power of puppy love. In order to keep the dogs from associating reading time with nap time, we train them to stay engaged and look at the pages during story time.
