About TailsTrails

I've had Golden Retrievers my whole life. Pundit. Josie. Now Auggie. And here's something weird: I think dogs ran my parents' social life. Pundit even found my babysitter — just ran up to a stranger on a walk and got my mom talking to Meena. My mom still laughs about it.

Now I'm a junior in college, and here is what I know: we're the most connected in history and we're the loneliest. It's a paradox and a public-health crisis. It's on our phones. It's on the street, everyone with AirPods in, no one saying hi.

Walking Auggie one day, it hit me: we need an excuse to talk to people. A bridge. The dog is the bridge.
