Alice Allen has played an essential role in developing the vision for this program as a member of the Advisory Committee.

About Alice: "I depend on my working dogs to keep the dairy farm running smoothly.
The Border Collies are much more than hired hands — they are my companions, best friends and guardian angels too. To be honest, I really work for the dogs! They run the farm!”

Shannon Garrett created all the delightful "Pet Stories" videos, in collaboration with her two, and four-legged "Stars" living throughout the Northeast Kingdom.

About Shannon: Shannon majored in Fine Art at St. Lawrence University, and played lacrosse.

"I can honestly say that to every person who welcomed me into your home with the purpose of sharing your and your pet's story, I consider you a friend. As an only child I grew up believing my pet's were my siblings. I still do."
