“She wants a job, and she wants to do her job the best that she can.” – Melissa Novelli

“It gives them a chance to go and sniff and smell different smells, experience different sounds, and explore. And it gives them a little exposure to the outside environment, a break from their kennel, and a chance to really experience a little realistic life.” – Melissa Novelli

“Get your dog’s flowers and toys. No chocolate. Chocolate will cripple and kill your dog.”—Michael Novelli
