David is a great speaker, and has loads of stories about his years in the movie business, and life with 30+ geriatric Goldens! You don't want to miss this event.

Presented by Golden Beginnings and our partners Murder by the Book, The Greater Houston Golden Retriever Club, the Golden Guild and the French Alliance.

The Tara Foundation, which David and his wife founded in memory of their beloved Golden Tara, has rescued over 4,000 Goldens. Currently, David and his wife lovingly take those Goldens too old or ill to be adopted into their home, where they spend their "Golden" years.
