Few people achieve their vision and big dreams. You did. Few people help to enhance the well-being of millions of pets. You did. Few people are a leader that inspires many to be honest, do your best, and treat others with dignity and respect. You did. Few people will recognize the importance of family to have a fulfilling life. You did. Few people will leave a legacy of teaching, sharing, and love. You will. From millions of admirers, thank you.
