Reh is confident that her perception of reality is right on target. And she especially feels that being shorter than everyone gives her the advantage.

SAN FRANCISCO, voted the #1 healthiest city in the United States is the perfect place for pups! With its notoriously hilly terrain, it’s sure to get that heart rate up for both you and your dog. Reh, boutique Simply She’s poster dog, and star of Simply Dog, a book of life lessons taken from the canine set, has some tips for any vacationing quadruped enjoying the city – but take heed – it’s easy to fall in love with the place.
Maria Peevy, founder of boutique, Simply She, wrote Simply Dog to share that a dog’s life (and really all pet’s) can be extremely therapeutic for us dog guardians. Says Peevy, “Reh helped me get back to basics so to speak. Whether it is as simple as taking her to the beach and tossing ball with her – it works to help me let life’s stresses fall into place and remind myself what’s important ala big picture – finding contentment and joy in being in the moment and managing to put priorities in place even with my (everyone’s) very busy life. All the “Barks” in Simply Dog are universal truths – life lessons, to remind ourselves of the rather obvious but quite often forgotten basic messages for feeling good about yourself and your life.” Simply Dog – Life Lessons that Bark, by Maria Peevy and Megan Weinerman can be found at a bookstore near you.
