Ollie, Maby, & Bear with their Hooman, Jerry

Woof! Hey there, hoomans! Maby here, the four-legged mastermind behind Better Hooman. My hooman Jerry thinks he's in charge, but between you and me, I'm the real brains of this operation. And I'm not alone in this mission - I've got my trusty friends and brothers, Ollie (a golden retriever) and Bear (an English Labrador retriever), to back me up!

So, here's the scoop: I've been training Jerry for years now. When I first adopted him, he was a bit of a mess (aren't all hoomans?), but with some patience and a lot of belly rubs, I've managed to turn him into a pretty decent human being. Ollie and Bear have been a big help too, showing Jerry the ropes of multi-dog households and teaching him the art of simultaneous belly rubs.

Jerry likes to go on about all this "science" stuff - how we dogs are great for lowering stress, boosting happiness, and all that. But let's be real: we've known this all along. It's you hoomans who are just catching up! Ollie's always wagging tail and Bear's soulful eyes are living proof of our stress-busting powers.

Through our adventures together, I've taught Jerry a thing or two about life. He's learned to live in the moment (mostly when treats are involved), show empathy (especially when I give him the puppy eyes), and even build better relationships (I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with someone who has awesome dogs like us?). Ollie's taught him the joy of fetch, while Bear's shown him the zen of long, lazy naps.

This blog is my way of sharing my wisdom with other hoomans (with some of Jerry's science). Whether you've already been adopted by a dog or you're thinking about letting a furry friend into your life, I'm here to guide you. Trust me, we dogs are the best life coaches you'll ever have. And with Ollie and Bear by my side, we've got triple the doggy wisdom to share!

Now, here's the really exciting part: our posts are all about the journey to bettering yourself as hoomans through your relationship with us dogs. We'll be sharing all sorts of fun stories, tips, and activities that'll help you grow and become the best version of yourself. And if you're still on the fence about getting a dog? Let me tell you, it'll be the best decision you ever make for self-improvement. Just ask Jerry - he's living proof! (And if one dog is great, imagine how amazing life is with three of us!)

Jerry will be sharing stories, tips, and activities that I've carefully curated (read: barked at him until he wrote them down), with plenty of input from Ollie and Bear too. It's all about helping you become the kind of hooman that we dogs know you can be.

So, come on in, get comfy (maybe on the couch we're not supposed to be on), and let's embark on this journey together. With a little help from your furry friends, you'll be well on your way to becoming a Better Hooman in no time.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear the treat jar opening. Ollie, Bear, and I have a very important taste-testing session to attend to. Catch you later, fellow paw-some beings!

Woof woof,
Maby, Ollie, and Bear (and our hooman bestfriend Jerry)
