The week’s over, and it’s time to feel good! What better way to start your weekend than with a video about the powerful love we find with the animals who share our lives and homes? That’s why we’ll be sharing videos just like that every Friday.

And who better to lead that charge than the little dog who inspired the creation of Maddie’s Fund^®, Maddie herself!

Maddie was the beloved Miniature Schnauzer whose unconditional love, devotion, loyalty and spirit inspired a revolution, and the formation of a charitable foundation, Maddie’s Fund, in her honor.

Dave and Cheryl Duffield founded Maddie’s Fund to honor their sweet, yet feisty and spirited dog. It’s the fulfillment of a promise made to Maddie while playing together on the living room rug, that if they ever had any money, they would give back to her and her kind, so that other families could experience the immense joy they had with her. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Learn more about Maddie and the foundation she inspired here, and have a wonderful #FeelGoodFriday!
