It’s Dogs of Substack Notes time, so let’s show our furry friends some love. Anyone got a story to tell?

Today is a special day for my little dude. It is Whiskey’s one-year anniversary as a registered therapy dog!

With his ever-wagging tail, cheerful demeanor, and gentle hugs, his presence has a calming affect to those experiencing mood and anxiety disorders. He is the perfect companion.

It was only three years ago that my girlfriend rescued Whiskey from a biomedical lab. That he could spend the first two years of his life as a research beagle and still find ways to uplift spirits, brighten days, and put smiles on faces speaks to his unwavering joy.

I am so proud of this little guy and I love him to bits!
