I have a decade of experience caring for animals and tremendous love in my heart for the little buggers, particularly dogs. Friends often say the celebrity I most resemble is Saint Francis of Assisi, you know, without the saintly part. I work with animal shelters as a volunteer walker at the Barc Shelter in Brooklyn and the Seiler Animal Hospital in Fort Lauderdale. I am also the proud director and editor of Behave Yourself, the world's first punk rock dog training video, that I shot for Animal Planet's Victoria Welles. My French Bulldog, who is now eight years old (!!!) lost the use of his hind quarters several years ago. It galvanized me to spend some time on a horse farm in Virginia and I am now a dually-certified canine and equine massage therapist. I'm a big guy so I'm able to handle some of the aggression and leash-pulling our larger friends sometimes engage in. I also LOVE the senior dogs at the shelter so much and spend a lot of time with them. Between my seniors and my Frenchie, Jasper, I've gotten good at administering meds and cleaning up accidents. Okay, now I'm just humble-bragging so I'm going to stop, but give me a shot. It will be like a fun, extramarital affair for your dog, but in the French manner so it's out in the open and we're all okay with it and no one gets hurt;)
