      I wish there was a place like that near me! I have always wanted to work with animals. They are easier to understand than people most days.

      We became friends with Bob & Julie at our first visit to DEW with Al Gardner. Got rid of Julie's migraine & then entered Their Magic Kingdom. We love them & their animals as Our Family. Go there once & You will never be the same. We only wish we lived closer, we'd be there every day off. Bob- you're still the only guy I would trust to back me up to a fence & say sit here! There are still magical healing places in the world and DEW is at the top of the list. Love You, Mark & Jill from PA

      To all the backers of this project - I just wanted to let everyone know that after seeing this project I had to go out and meet Bob and Julie for myself. True to the video, they are some of the most dedicated, caring people I've come ever come across. The animals are their children, and it shows. I made a contribution to the organization and will continue to do so, and I hope if you all have the chance that you will do the same. Check out their website. Congratulations Jack, Bob, Julie, Steve and everyone involved in the Animal Kingdom

      I've had the privilege of knowing Bob and Julie for most of my life, spending all my summers volunteering for them, doing an internship while in college, and then living with them for a year after I graduated. I am so thankful that somebody is finally doing something like this for them.
