John Garcia - DOGTOWN
- What would you do? Mine – a must see film!
What would you do if forced from your home, not being able to take your pet with you, during a natural disaster only to find months or a year later that your pet has been rescued and sent across the country to be adopted by another family? Now What? Well that is exactly what happened to many of the people dealing with the aftermath of the Katrina Hurricane and flood in New Orleans. Director Geralyn Pezanoski joins us to discuss her new film “MINE” which gives us a better understanding of the trauma suffered by the people and animals displaced by this disaster and the painful steps of putting their lives back together. Imagine the circumstances you would be in if you had to sue someone to get YOUR OWN PET back! There are no right or wrong answers here but see the film and see just what takes place. Released for sale/rent on iTunes January 8th and premiering in San Francisco, ”MINE” with be aking it’s way to theaters across the country.

SENIORS FOR LIVING - I had the honor of being quoted in an article on this great web site for senior citizens. I had a very nice conversation with Marianne Thomas about how having a pet can help seniors with every day life. I have seen the effect having a dog has had on my 86 year old father, so I can speak first hand on the benefits for seniors that adding this new “family member” can bring to their lives!
