We were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. She changed the way we understand animals and has inspired millions, including each of us on Team MUTTS.
Thank you, Jane, for being a bright light, an incredible role model, and the embodiment of humanity's connection to the natural world.
