Catalina Mejia wrote a handbook for new dog owners as her senior project. She has always loved animals and wanted to work with them, but through this project discovered she does not want to be a vet due to the sadness of animal cases and her allergies. Her handbook provides information on socializing puppies and dogs with special needs, and her research found the importance of qualified pet care workers. Although the project was time-consuming, she enjoyed learning about dog care and making a difference for shelter animals.
