Let me tell you my story. My name is Carlos, and I’m 49 years old. I graduated from Metropolitan University of Puerto Rico with a degree in Marketing and Management. I worked in the retail industry and then the mortgage industry for 21 years. When I was fired from my job, I felt devastated and sad. What was I going to do? Where was I going to work?
I had so many questions and so many insecurities.
At the same time as this was happening, I had my six-year-old dog, Marcela, attending D.A.S.H.A (Dedicated Animal for Service Human Always) every Saturday. This organization is dedicated to training therapy dogs and service dogs. The founder, Odalis Garcia, was a graduate from the School for Dog Trainers and conducted classes to train therapy dogs.
I didn’t miss a class, and Marcela was already a therapy dog who attended hospitals, schools and nursing homes. Those Saturdays were my time when I disconnected from all preoccupations and distractions in my life.
