For eight years, Luna has been my best buddy. She has supported me during every difficult day, heartbreak, and time when I wanted to give up. I didn’t hesitate when the veterinarian informed me that she needed surgery right away. My truck was sold. There was no question at all. Luna was safe and alive…
I have over five years of experience as a security guard at this supermarket.
