Joe Joe is my black Labrador retriever and I call him “my heart”. He’s 12 years old now, but for the last 9, he has been through multiple injuries, surgeries, illnesses and treatments, and come to find out, all for my benefit. He led me to a new career as a canine rehab therapist at the age of 47, and through his struggles, he has taught me lessons both personal and professional. I believe, Joe Joe, was my special gift from God, my own personal guardian angel. His job… to lead me to my passion in life.
Because of Joe Joe I have been blessed in being able to work with multiple dogs, each with their own message of bravery, trust, persistence, forgiveness, and love.

But it all started with Joe Joe, and I believe he is the architect of God’s plan for me.
