Willy’s perspective: Bring your dog

“I started with a camera mount on a tennis ball, but he's obsessed with tennis balls so he just chewed on it. Then I tried a spatula, so it could hold out a little bit farther… But then I ended up just building the mount.
​
He always has something in his mouth... So I think holding the camera was pretty natural.” - Ben

If you’ve ever taken your dog on an adventure, it’s easy to see their pure joy and curiosity as they run around and explore somewhere new.

But what if you could experience those moments from their perspective?

Is it even possible?

When Ben and JaAnna brought Willy into their lives, they knew they wanted to bring him along when they headed outdoors.

What they didn’t realize was that this goofy dog would end up being the literal face of a movement: Bring your dog…

All because of a secondhand 360 camera from Facebook marketplace.

Last week, we learned how planning ahead for your pet’s last moments doesn’t just help when the time comes… It allows us to be more present and loving during the time we still have with them too!

Jenn encourages us to start planning asap, but we know that might feel tough. We were wondering, when do YOU think is the perfect time to start planning?

💭 Would you plan your pet’s final day before you had to?

68.8% - 💙 Yes, I’d want their ending to feel peaceful and intentional
​12.5% - 🥺 Maybe, but it would be really hard to think about
​0% - 😔 No, I think it would make me too sad too soon
​18.8% - 🐾 I’d rather decide when I know what they need in the moment

A plan for your pet that just makes sense

When you include your pets in so many parts of your life, they get used to being part of the family!

But if you had to step away for a few days, would someone know exactly what to do to keep them happy and safe?

If something happened, could someone confidently step in and take your place?

Putting a Cotl plan in place ensures your pet is taken care of, just the way they’re used to, no matter what.

Discover how the process works or book a call directly with Sean, our founder and CEO, to see what a plan could look like for you.
