Animal therapist Adrienne Herman’s bond with animals, especially dogs, began at age five with her first pup, a rat terrier mix. He became her constant companion for 14 years, even showing up at school to find her during the day.

“He taught me so much about how to listen to dogs and become attuned to their needs,” Herman said. “That was more than 60 years ago and I’ve had many dogs since! They’ve all taught me different lessons on how to help them lead healthier, happier lives.”
