Dog Dad Life: 2 Stories That Hit Home

Owning a dog isn't just walks, treats, and tennis balls  in the park, it's a life changing journey... 

So instead of taking it lightly, we want to create a unique and special space for those who truly understand this bond so they can share it with our community.

He Walked Right Into My Life (And Sat Down Like He Owned the Place)

“I wasn’t planning on getting a dog. I walked into the shelter ‘just to look’ (my friends used to say that I had to bring some love into my life…) and there he was, this awkward, lanky mutt with eyes too big for his face haha and a tail that thumped wildly against the kennel wall (omg, can you imagine?). He didn’t bark, didn’t jump.

He just looked at me like he already knew me, like if he knew me from somewhere else, I don’t know... I walked out with a leash in hand and a heart forever changed.

I just… I know it has been the best decision of my life.”

He’s Seen Every Version of Me...

“I got Max when I was 22 and completely lost in life, and maybe he was too... I found him during a trip (one of many to find a new home), Max was very small, and fit perfectly in my hand... We’ve moved through five apartments, one breakup, two jobs, and one very questionable mustache phase. We've lived every adventure (and those yet to come), and Max has brought color and sound to each one.

Honestly take my advice, if you have the opportunity, go to a shelter and allow yourself to have all that joy and hair in your life.

Having such a genuine connection is one of the best things I could wish for another person.”

- Carlos and Max

There’s something sacred about the little ways we carry our dogs with us. Whether it's a toy they destroyed but you couldn't throw away or a keepsake that means more than it looks.
