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.

Ziggy

Jacob sheep are small, horned, black and white sheep which the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy has listed the North American population as a conservation priority. The breed produces a medium fleece which is sought after by hand spinners. Ziggy and her twin sister Rita were born in 2008 and are among a small herd of Jacobs that live at Green Chimneys. From gentle sheep, children learn valuable life lessons in kindness, patience, consistency and love.
