Matt’s love and caring for animals has always been one of his outstanding qualities and natural gifts. Dogs love him, and he has a great rapport with them. Growing up, he won many awards competing in the canine sport of agility, which required extensive training and commitment over many years. He recently rescued a dog that he spotted on a rainy night in New York City on a busy roadway, finding the nearest emergency veterinary clinic and waiting to make sure the dog would be OK. He would never let a dog or its owner down!
