I’ve loved dogs my whole life. From our family’s Australian shepherd who gladly directed our car up the driveway to the stuffed toys with floppy ears lining the floor of FAO Schwartz. I liked most anything with four legs, and horses held a strong allure, but there was just always something about a dog. I was fortunate enough to have parents who let us have a menagerie of pets, and when I went to college, I was constantly seeking out ways to spend time around animals.
