    Our Experience with Good Dog After losing our beloved Shih Tzu of 18 years, our hearts were completely broken. She was such a special part of our lives, and we took a long time to heal before even considering bringing another dog into our home. Though no one could ever replace her, we eventually decided we were ready to open our hearts again. Since it had been so long, we were a bit nervous about the process, but then we discovered Good Dog. From the very beginning, our breeder, McKayla, was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. She answered all of our questions quickly, often within hours, and made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way. She even offered to meet us halfway to pick up our puppy, which made the experience so easy and stress-free. Through her, we found our new puppy, Bruno. He’s the sweetest, smartest, and cutest little guy, and we are absolutely in love. McKayla still keeps in touch and checks in on Bruno, always happy to answer any questions we have. Our home feels full again, and our hearts are so grateful. We’re so happy we trusted Good Dog and especially thankful to McKayla for helping our family welcome another furry best friend into our lives.
