He has the best human interest stories that are inspiring, happy, and some put me to shame because of how much a 90 year old has accomplished compared to me. He never disappoints 🤗

And my Dad was the dog lover in my family, my mother was the one who needed convincing since she never grew up with pets. But she came around pretty fast and for me, that puppy was a dream come true!
