Quotes
“But it was just amazing how this team really rallied for him.”
“They grieve just like we do, and it takes time to build their spirits up. And that's what Pawtastic Friends does. It gives dogs hope and it gives them a new beginning. And that faith that, hey, things are going to change.”
“But safety is number one. Always life jacket. Even like with humans, wear the life jackets and be very cautious of pool covers because if they don't know that it's a pool cover and they step on there and they're not being attended to, all it takes is for a second, just like a child to drown, a dog to drown.”
