About Me

playing catch with my rhodesian ridgeback

Hi there, I’m Dave Foster, a passionate dog lover and your go-to guide here on agratefuldog.com. Born and raised in sunny San Diego, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life – from tiny terriers to giant mastiffs, I’ve loved them all.

I’ve made it my mission to help fellow dog lovers understand their canine companions better. My expertise covers everything from puppy training to senior dog care, with a special interest in dog nutrition.

When I’m not blogging, I’m usually hiking with my energetic Ridgeback, Renegade, or volunteering at local animal shelters.

So, whether you’re a newbie in the dog-parent world or an experienced dog lover, join me as we explore the wonderful world of dogs together. Trust me, it’s going to be a tail-wagging adventure
