This is the true story of a couple who set out to change the world of pet care -- and succeeded against all the odds. Their noble quest for the welfare of our companion animals was spurred by the needless loss of their own pet in a boarding kennel.
Without any formkal training or esxperience, but with a great deal of motivation and love, they gave up their jobs and security to fight against terrible odds to reform the pet care industry.
Using a radically different concept for the public care of people's pets, they founded a revolutionary pet motel in America's heartland. Virtually eliminating pet illnesses, injuries or deaths in their pet motel, they became the model for pet care facilities worldwide. Their story will motivate and inspire you to follow your dream - no matter what the cost.
Not only did they offer a million dollar facility with brass beds, Seely matteresses, carpeting, air conditioning, yogurt deserts and cookie breaks, but they were (and may still be) the only pet care facility that guaranteed your pet would go home alive or they would pay all your veterinary costs and a death benefit if your pet passed away while boarding.
They not onlyi took on the American Veterinary Association, but also McDonald's, the American Boarding Kennel Association and the entire pet boarding industry
