About me
Hey, I'm Omega!
I spent 40 years afraid of big dogs — like, cross-the-street afraid. Then Bear came home. He was 13 pounds of paws and ears, and he grew into 104 pounds of muscle, love, and one tail that's taken out more wine glasses than I can count.
I created Big Paws Unleashed because nobody handed me a playbook — so I wrote one. Big dogs. Big love. No big worries.
