“Hachi’s Hike for Hospice” is a campaign to raise awareness about hospice care and dispel many of the negative connotations that come with it. End of life planning is never a fun subject, but it’s and important one many of us choose to ignore.

This was after a veterinarian (and the rescue he was adopted from) said he was a Bulldog mix. The township has now dropped charges against his owner & Diggy is being allowed to stay.
