I will always remember Doug smiling and laughing with a grinning golden retriever by his side. Doug was a huge positive impact on my life. I met Doug and Karen at Goldstock only to learn we lived near each other in the Hudson Valley. I immediately joined their training club where I learned a lot, met wonderful people who are friends to this day and discovered a whole new and rewarding hobby of therapy dog work. Doug was a kind person and a wonderful teacher and mentor. If you think about all the good work he did and the many people he coached into therapy dog work and the joy they all then brought out into a tough world, you realize just how impactful his life was. I, for one, am so grateful to have known him. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Give all our dogs at the Rainbow Bridge a snuggle! I bet you had quite the greeting upon arrival!
