Meet Jamie Dureno's Zoe. Zoe is a pre-teenager, Weimarner/Doberman mix  

Wellbeing Tip:  Pet owners have a lower rate of depression, and studies also show that they suffer less symptoms of depression when there is a pet in the home. Zoe does her part by greeting her owners at the door with a furry stuffed animal and a wagging nub of a tail each day after work, sure to ease the stress of any difficult day.
