Baggage Should Not Dictate the Journey
These words, this model, is one of the many reasons our collaboration with Chelsey and Keeper and Kin is so beneficial for so many. The importance of looking forward and not remaining in the past is imperative and the most effective way to benefit our furry loved ones...
From a recent social media post:
"What if we stopped measuring former research dog's progress by where they've been? I think we owe them more than that.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of former research beagles.
I've watched dogs who were once terrified of the outdoors become cross country adventure partners.
Dogs who couldn't make eye contact now stare into their human's soul every time they're hoping for one more game of fetch.
Dogs who once avoided human touch now jump into bed, shove their noses under a hand, and demand more scratches behind the ears.
The dogs that make those transformations aren't always the "easy" ones. They're the ones whose families never stopped believing there was more inside them. Because at some point, their past will stop being the most interesting thing about them.
That doesn't mean pushing them too fast or pretending their trauma doesn't exist. It means refusing to let their history become the ceiling for their future.
Our job is to help you bring extraordinary to life.
Invest in their potential.
You might be surprised by who they become."
