Dog is Good for Good knows the power of the human-dog bond.
For both, this partnership improves the health and well-being
of the human as well as the dog.
This year our dogs might be more essential than ever as they are a constant source of companionship, joy, and calm.
There are numerous human challenges due to job loss,
food insecurity, and isolation. With ever-changing health conditions and our dependency on technology for remote learning, sustain work, and maintain family ties & friendships,
Our dogs are always there for us.
Let's be there for them.
