Kobe came into my life on August 2013.  He is a beautiful golden retriever.  From day one it felt absolutely right and I can say for certain that my life has been hugely enriched by Kobe.  The positive impact he has had is immeasurable.  I am a significantly happier and healthier person with Kobe around.  I get to see my son much more often - Kobe lives between both homes.  I get out and walk with Kobe come hail, rain or shine.  I've met so many like-minded people through Kobe (he insists on stopping to say hello to everyone!).  He has shown me how to slow down my life in such a way that I can now appreciate who and what I have in my life.  If you don't have a dog, my advice is - get one!
