Ross Hartil, the Bikers for Best Friends Community Manager, actually has a day job. Surprise! Ross is the Maintenance Manager at Best Friends. Well, with all that is going on at the Sanctuary these days, he has a ton on his plate.

Ross called me last week and after we talked awhile, I gladly volunteered to help him out with the Bikers for Best Friends Community.

If you read down the news stories on the site, you will see a story that explains why I'm here. Yes, the overwhelming power of Best Friends got to my wife and I and we were lucky enough to adopt Louise from Lebanon. With that little dog came an admiration of Best Friends that I'm sure will last a life time. With that admiration came a sense of responsibility to do what we can to support the work of Best Friends. Now, add all that to the fact that I love to ride my Harley as much as I love my dogs, and you have a natural fit for Bikers for Best Friends.

I think that great thing about this community is that it allows bikers that love animals to come together and share. If you have any story ideas or comments, please feel free to email me at mark.a.stefanowski@sprint.com. I look forward to hearing from you and sharing our experiences.

Ride Safe.
