Dog Days

One of the many joys of NMLC’s construction project are all the great dogs we’ve met.  They supervise our construction work with toothy grins.  They keep us company on long hauls.  They amuse and entertain.  They support and motivate.  Perhaps it is because of their inspiration that we are so motivated to help other animals by building this marine animal hospital….  At any rate, thank goodness for our four-legged companions who keep us on track!

Jake, whose person is Tyler from R&H Construction, has been with us from day one!

    It’s wonderful that the canines are supporting the marine mammal effort! Always thought dogs were the best people.

    Jake,
    always the protector. He has a big heart just like his size. He loves going to work at R & H Construction.

  3. Thanks, Megan! I’ve had so much fun meeting all the dogs that I thought I would share.

    Cheers,
    Kathy
