Leader of the Pack

Bob has not only devoted his career to animals by way of the pet products industry; he’s contributed to articulating the important and healthful ways animals enhance our lives. Through his work with APPA, the Human Animal Bond Research Institute and the Pet Leadership Council, Bob has advocated for increased awareness in proper pet care, research to better understand the human-animal connection and government support of animal-assisted therapies for veterans and children.

Wild Turkey

This wild/domestic hybrid turkey came to the Paul C. Kupchok Wildlife Center as a baby, and he has been right at home ever since. When the bird was tiny, students visiting him in the wildlife classroom loved watching the chick respond to whistling to come get a mealworm treat. As the turkey grew, he moved to his own outdoor habitat to live as he would in the wild.
