As Good As Life Gets

Posted on | January 19, 2010 | No Comments

Most people know Jack Hanna as a famous animal guy and Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo, but I’m not sure nearly as many know he’s also been a huge long-time supporter of Canine Companions for Independence and has helped raise many thousands of dollars for the organization.

Jack’s on vacation in Florida right now, and he posted this wonderful picture on Facebook this morning.


“Years ago Sue and I scoped out dog-friendly beaches in FL and then found a small place nearby. Thanks to PetAirways and AirTran, my dogs are in FL with me for the week. This morning I started reading Dean Koontz’s “A Big Little Life”. The book is about his retired Canine Companions for Independence dog – Dean and I are both big supporters of CCI!”

You could find me on the couch in our house doing the same thing  a lotta times, and I’ve often said “This is as good as life gets.” when I’ve been doing it.  Yeah, I guess I’m just a boring guy, but, you know, that statement is still true, especially in light of so much of what goes on daily in the world.
