More: Emma has always love to hike, run, swim, ride the horses... whatever we were doing she wanted to do too! Now she’s 15 and mostly blind and deaf and doesn’t move quite as fast as she used to, but she still wants to be part of everything, she just needs a little help! I have had dogs my entire life and she is the smartest animal I have ever worked with. She is very attentive and curious, so the backpack for hikes and bikes was the perfect solution!
