Three local kids – Asher, Cayde and Ava – transformed balls of fresh dough into handcrafted pizzas. There was laughter, some friendly competition, plenty of flour in unexpected places – and the pride that comes from creating something with your own hands.

That’s exactly what owner Mike Spineti envisioned when he introduced interactive pizza-making classes at Oven 360 in Troy, the first U.S. location for the Canadian-based restaurant.

For an hour, as the children were tutored by a real pizza chef, pepperoni pies became more of an experience than just dinner.

“We wanted to create something people could do together,” Mike says. “It’s a great way to have fun while learning something new.”

Bringing home a new dog comes with dreams of long walks, family adventures and a loyal companion waiting at the door.

Shredded pillows, stolen steaks and nonstop barking? Not so much.

That’s where The Dog Wizard Dog & Obedience Training comes in.

“We don’t just train dogs,” says owner Tim Siedlaczek. “We transform relationships.”

After more than three decades in the pet industry, Tim has seen firsthand how behavioral challenges can strain the relationship between dogs and their owners.

“Behavior is about communication,” he says. “When owners learn how to communicate clearly, you see lasting change.”

Every shelter has them.

The dog that quietly watches families walk past.

The cat that has waited so long, volunteers wonder if anyone will ever choose her.

Christine O’Brien has met hundreds. And every time she raises her camera, she hopes to change the ending.

As the pet photographer behind Ruff Life Photography, Christine has spent nearly two decades proving that one beautiful portrait can help someone fall in love with a pet before they ever meet.
