David Buckley: (Part-Time Daycare Attendant): Dave grew up in his mother's foot steps...living amongst animal rescue work, obedience training, and a parade of whatever domestic or wild animal was brought into his home! Dave literally learned to walk with the help of his first Rottweiler "Jobondae's Shadow" pulling himself up using her back-side as his guide. In his school years he often assisted Bonnie with wildlife lectures and was always "on-call" during animal control calls. Like his mother, he is a lifelong animal advocate and your pet's will always be in kind & knowledged hands with Dave! Dave's current four footed friend is Doug, a "way too cute" Beagle who has a nose and voice that does not quit! Doug excels on all the agility equipment and is sure to give all the daycare dog's a run for their money! In Dave's Bio photo he is shown with Nick & Prima.
