Meet Lauren and Stella! Here’s their amazing journey:

Stella didn’t just become my best friend—she gave me a new purpose.

Through her, I discovered my passion for dog training. It all started with puppy kindergarten classes, where I fell in love with the process of learning and growing together. We became a team, and I was hooked. We took every class our local training facility offered, and with each one, my passion deepened—not just for training dogs, but for working with Stella.

Watching her thrive in group classes, mastering new skills, and having fun along the way was inspiring. I knew I wanted to help others experience that same joy. I enrolled in Animal Behavior College and graduated in March 2022 as a Certified Dog Trainer. Soon after, I was hired to teach dog training classes at the very place where our journey began. The best part? Stella was right by my side as our demo dog for every class.

Together, we’ve explored a wide range of dog sports—Rally Obedience, Agility, Barn Hunt, Happy Ratters, FastCAT, and Dock Diving. Each new adventure brought us closer and introduced us to an incredible community of dog lovers. Stella continues to amaze me with her enthusiasm, intelligence, and heart.

I can’t wait to see where the next five years take us. Here’s to Stella—the dog who changed everything, and the best teammate I could ever ask for.

Meet Stacey, Pretzel & Gummy Bear Here’s their story:

Before Pretzel and Gummy Bear, life was go-go-go—busy, and missing a kind of joy I didn’t know I needed. Then these two fluffy lovebugs bounced in and turned everything around.

They didn’t just steal my socks—they stole my heart.

Their zoomies, cuddles, and goofy charm remind me to slow down and soak up the little things. What began as a fun Instagram account quickly grew into something so much bigger, a space filled with kindness, laughter, and the sweetest community of fellow dog lovers.

We’ve met the most amazing people through Pretzel and Gummy Bear, people who share stories, send love, and make the world feel a little warmer.

These two aren’t just my kids, they’re my joy, my comfort, and my connection to so much love. They didn’t just change my life, they brought me a whole new world of love.

Meet Mechelle, Comet & Luna!

Mechelle is the heart and hands behind Comet & Luna Boutique. Here’s her story:

Growing up, I was always a creative artist, finding joy in crafting and creating. After my grandfather passed away, I started visiting my grandmother every Saturday. During these cherished visits, she taught me to sew, instilling in me a deep love for the craft and leaving me with beautiful memories of our time together.

My passion for sewing and crafting continued to grow, and it found a new direction when my daughter, Haley, got her first Golden Retriever, Comet. Inspired by Comet and my love for animals, I began making pet accessories. Today, I have five dogs—four mini-dachshunds named Luna, Cosmo, Stella, and Winnie, who are my constant companions and inspiration.

At Comet & Luna Boutique, I create a variety of pet accessories, including bow ties, sailor bows, bandanas, collars, and leashes. I take pride in offering custom designs and hand-embroidered personalization, ensuring each item is as unique as the pet it adorns. I also love making matching accessories for pet owners, celebrating the special bond between pets and their humans.

My journey with Comet & Luna Boutique is driven by my love for animals and the joy I find in crafting. Every piece I create is a labor of love, reflecting the creativity and passion that my grandmother nurtured in me all those years ago.

Meet Andrea & Gary. Here’s their story:

Gary is our newest family member. We live in Clearwater, BC, surrounded by majestic mountains and cascading waterfalls.

Gary’s arrival came after a chapter of deep heartbreak in August 2024, when we lost our beloved Bull Mastiff, Frank. Frank wasn’t just a dog—he was family. His sudden battle with metastatic cancer left an unfillable void in our lives.

After Frank’s passing, we knew we wanted another dog, but choosing the right one felt daunting. We narrowed it down to either a Mastiff or an English Bull Terrier. But English Bull Terriers are rare in our area, and finding one seemed nearly impossible.

Then, one night by the campfire, as we reminisced about Frank, fate intervened. Out of nowhere, we discovered Gary—a perfect English Bull Terrier. It felt like divine timing, as if Frank himself had sent us this moment.

The day we picked him up was unforgettable. We packed up the kids, hearts full of anticipation, and drove north to meet him. When we arrived, his siblings came bounding out, full of energy.

But Gary was different. He hesitated, taking a few slow steps before stopping and sitting back down on his bed.

He locked eyes with us, and in that moment, it felt like he was looking right into my soul.

I couldn’t hold back the tears. As I softly called his name, I reached out, and he walked toward us—calm, gentle, and full of trust. Scooping him into my arms, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. It was clear Frank had guided us to him.

Now 13 weeks old, Gary has already stolen our hearts with his cheeky charm and loving nature. We’re learning so much about the unique personality of English Bull Terriers and embracing every step of this new journey. Together, as a family, we’re ready for all the adventures ahead with Gary, our sweet little miracle.

Meet Chris and Tucker from Maryland. Here’s their story:

We adopted Tucker in 2022 from a local rescue. He joined the family at eight weeks giving our other dog Dewey a companion. With all the kids grown, we needed a little chaos.

We’re an animal family. Tucker also has a 14 year old kitty and two puppy cousins that were adopted around the same time - luckily they only come for visits! The love and energy they bring to the family is priceless. At least that’s what I tell my husband.

I believe it’s true dogs take on the personality of their humans. Tucker is always busy, looking for the next adventure and yes, a little FOMO.

People say he was fortunate to find a good home, I say were the lucky ones.

🌟 Meet Sammy and Roan: A Story of Love and Healing from 🌟

Sammy was born in Schurz, NV, and abandoned with his littermates. At 12 weeks old, they were rescued by Churchill Animal Protection Society (CAPS) in Fallon, NV. Sammy was in terrible shape, infested with ticks, malnourished, and lethargic. CAPS saved the entire litter, giving them a chance at a new life.

Enter Roan and his mom, grieving the loss of their two senior rescue dogs. They found Sammy at CAPS when he was 8 months old, and the bond was instant. Sammy’s joyful spirit helped them heal.

But Sammy’s journey wasn’t easy. At 10 months, he tore his ACL while playing. After two failed surgeries, they discovered he had congenital patella luxations (floating kneecaps). UC Davis suggested a wheelchair and physical therapy. With a customized leg brace and wheelchair from Walkin’ Pets, Sammy took his first steps in January 2023. Today, he thrives, enjoying walks and meeting new friends.

While Sammy was healing, Roan faced his own challenges. Diagnosed with dyslexia, he struggled in school and could not read a single word. Intensive tutoring with Lindamood-Bell helped him start reading, with Sammy always by his side. Sammy comforted Roan through tough days and celebrated his reading progress.

Roan now reads short stories to Sammy every night, and their bond grows stronger each day. Sammy is truly Roan’s emotional support dog, proving that love and resilience can overcome any obstacle.

Meet Lauren & Stella, 3 year old Labrador Retriever from Allentown, PA

Dogs are truly incredible animals and have a way of teaching us valuable life lessons. Stella came into my life mid-pandemic and over the last three years she has taught me what love is, how to be more patient, and how to stop and appreciate the small things in life. But most importantly, she helped me realize my true passion in life, working with dogs.

Shortly after I brought Stella home, we started taking a Puppy Preschool class and I was hooked! I realized the true bond that comes with working with your dog and all the rewards of having a well-behaved dog. From there, we took every single class that was offered, and we haven’t stopped training since!

In 2021, I decided to go back to school to learn all that I could about dog training. Through my educational program, I had the opportunity to train dogs who were up for adoption at the Pennsylvania SPCA. In 2022, I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a Certified Dog Trainer, became a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and became an American Kennel Club (AKC) Evaluator for various CGC testing.

Today, I teach all levels of Obedience classes with Stella by my side as a demo dog at the same place where it all started. In our free time, we participate in Rally Obedience, Coursing Ability, Fast CAT, Agility, and Dock Diving. We have become an amazing team, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
