Cindy the Dog Whisperess

So proud of every one in the class! The volunteers are so dedicated , their time effort love and leadership is really paying off. The photos are beautiful! I am so happy to see the progress that all the dogs are making, especially Bert, he has really opened up and is responding to all the love and handling. You can see the joy and happiness now in his face, he is loving the interaction and the training he was smiling and wagging is tail in class on Tuesday! We all saw the transformation in him and it was awesome to see him so happy! The beautiful photos show how happy the dogs are in the class and really shows the love and connection the volunteers have with the dogs!

I love this class and love working with a great group of people.

So grateful for this wonderful article in the Examiner, great exposure for our great shelter dogs!

Harry Bublitz passed away Thursday, he was such a good friend and an inspiration to all that met him. He touched many lives and taught us so much about life and what it means. He came into my life at a time when I was in such grief over the loss of my parents and he lifted my despair, helping him with his dogs was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
I was in awe of this man who had sustained such tragedy and his zest and spirit for life. His perseverance was incredible, He was like a punching bag, life would knock him down and he would just get back up time and time again. He taught me compassion leadership empathy and so many things about how wonderful and precious life is. The whole community came out and helped Harry; his friends, the people of Lake Geneva, the Congregation of St. Francis, and the kids at the school. Helping Harry helped us live our Christian faith.
Harry and his wonderful special dogs Mac and Sage will be greatly missed!
His dogs were such a joy and comfort to him, he had a magical way with them, Mac was one of the best dogs I have ever worked with he really loved Harry and loved his job of helping him! It was a privilege to be part of that relationship.
