Spoke in support of the appeal alongside Diana Krause regarding their denied excess animal permit.

Said dogs run loose all over the city every day on his doorbell camera, including his own, and questioned whether every owner whose dog gets out should be fined.

Said she moved in recently, got all licenses and vet appointments current, acknowledged Daisy once snuck out, and said the dogs are now kept on leash and under control.

Spoke in support of the couple, saying they've been through enough, both are responsible dog owners, and the city shouldn't force people to choose between their dog and the person they love.
