I would make the best ever spokesdog for Bark Brew beer because....
Almost all of us have been affected by cancer. Everyone Seward talks to has a story about friends or family dealing with this terrible disease. Seward's parents have a story too...

COVID hit while Seward’s parents were still in treatment seeing doctors and going to hospitals frequently. With the restrictions on visitors came restrictions on therapy dogs. Which resulted in an extreme shortage of therapy dogs.

And then came Seward...
Many of you have met Seward or seen his videos of loving life, training, visiting people at Soda City market and everywhere in between. He has helped neighborhood kids learn to swim when they didn’t want to get in the water. He has comforted cancer survivors and thrivers as they navigate their difficult journey. He has sat with patients outside of Duke Cancer Center, wearing his “In training” vest, quietly and calmly letting them pet him as they share about their first chemo treatment. Somehow this sweet golden puppy just seems to deeply understand people.

Currently, Seward is working towards becoming a therapy dog. His unconditional love is a powerful reminder of the beauty and kindness that exists in the world. His boundless affection is not only heartwarming but also a testament to the potential we all have to make a positive impact on others' lives. Seward embodies the true essence of love and the power of animal-assisted therapy. Together, let's pave the way for a brighter, more compassionate world with Seward leading the charge.

A big thank you for supporting Seward and PAALS.
