The pet tech that can save your dog (or cat)— and the vet who brought it to Charlotte
“IT’S BEEN PRETTY MUCH ME AND CASH against the world,” says Crystal Cruise of Matthews. At her feet is a black dog with white paws, a perpetually wagging tail, and an expectant expression of, Ball? Cruise had zero intention of adopting a puppy. In 2007, she walked into an animal shelter in Denver, Colorado, intending to walk out with a calm adult dog.
