Pets: A Rhodesian Ridgeback named Lola

Q: Do you train with your pets?

My dog, Lola does all of my cardio workouts with me. She's a Rhodesian Ridgeback and she has had three litters of purebred puppies, but that was before I adopted her.

Q: Where did you get Lola?

I chose to adopt a 7-year-old dog because they wanted her to go to an active home that was familiar with the breed, and I fell in love with her instantly. I adopted her because I don't think we need to encourage puppy production when there are so many animals that need homes.
