Just studying how they consider, how they behave, why they behave that way, all that variety of things, I just fell in love with it. So, I just held heading,” Hagel recalled.

The sector isn’t going to have any rules, and Hagel, who has a diploma in social perform, stored educating herself about interactions with pet dogs and learning from other experts in the marketplace from all throughout North The us.
