With the new year comes the hope of new beginnings and that’s what this issue is dedicated to: whether it be love, a resolution to start better habits, or welcoming a new furry family member.

We are excited to introduce you to Eric Ladin, who plays Jamie Wright, the campaign manager on The Killing (page 24). Eric talks about his life, his career, and how he found the perfect dog, Chance who he adopted into his family.

You will also see the story of Pierre, a little French Bulldog, who was abandoned in a Petco restroom, but thanks to his rescuers has been given a new leash on life (page 36).
