Dogs are surrendered by their owners for many reasons, most often not because the dog did anything wrong. Kris was surrendered after his owner started having to travel for work and felt guilty leaving Kris in boarding so much.

Dr. Phil Good, owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinic, received his Bachelor of Science with highest honors in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2006.
