A DoveLewis story

“I was a client well before I was an employee. As my previous dog, Einstein, aged, he struggled with seizures. After one particularly bad one, he was struggling to walk, so I called DoveLewis for help. The CSR stayed on the phone with me, helping me assess Einstein’s state and my options to get there. My dog was looking to me, and I looked to DoveLewis. I consider it a privilege to support the teams who help people every day, just like they helped me."
