Jenny Pavlovic, Ph.D. is a biomedical engineer by vocation and a “dog person” by avocation. She has adopted and rescued purebred and mixed breed dogs, and currently lives in Minnesota with Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) Bandit, rescued ACD-Collie mix Chase, and rescued ACD mix Cayenne. One of her greatest rewards has been seeing rescued dogs break away from pasts of abuse, neglect, or trauma and begin to enjoy life. Jenny has also learned a lot from watching her herding dogs do what they were bred to do. Through working and living with them, she has become a better person and a more confident leader. She is the author of 8 Kate State and Not without My Dog Resource and Record book.
Barbara Techel is an advocate for animals with disabilities sharing the story of how her dachshund was diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) persevered after surgery, physical therapy and then was custom-fitted for a doggie wheelchair.
Frankie and Barbara educate children and adults through the Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series about seeing their challenges in a positive way, understanding disc disease, as well as encouraging others to be of service to their communities, despite obstacles they may face. They visit local schools, organizations, and nursing homes, as well as classrooms across the US and Canada via Skype. They are also active as a therapy dog volunteer team visiting a local hospital, senior assisted living facility, and hospice community regularly each month.
