Quinnie's mom, Beth, shares the joy this little tornado of a pug brought into her life. She also shares some of her experiences rescuing and her thoughts on the critical role dogs play in good mental health. This one is also a must watch on youTube because there are a lot of great Quinnie appearances...plus a couple of my clowns in the background for a bit.
