While I (Hannalore) may live in Colorado now, I still try to make an active, positive impact here—emotionally, personally, and professionally—with my friends, my clients, and the dogs that helped shape me.

Coming back to Massachusetts, especially for Gian’s funeral, isn’t always easy, but I did find the light in the dark and its had its perks.

I get to come home to the dogs I’ve trained and grown to love like my own, and to the friends who feel like family. I get to step back into something that I helped build—and something that Gian helped build too.

This community. These friendships. This love. This family. It all reminds me why we do what we do, and why, no matter where I am, this will always be home in some way.

Motley reminded me all this today 🐄

Gian. The best smile pd them all. I miss you.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Gian, the heart and soul of Boston for the Dogs. He peacefully passed at home on Saturday, June 14th at just 38 years old.

Gian wasn’t just a teammate, he was family from the very beginning. He helped build Boston for the Dogs from the ground up, learning the ins and outs of PetPocketbook, running our schedule, and supporting our team through every challenge. His dedication shaped everything we are today. In 2019, Boston for the Dogs was honored to win Best of Boston Dog Walker, and Gian was at the center of that achievement.

This was more than a company—it was a family business. Both Gian and his brother Andy were part of Boston for the Dogs, and together with his fiancé Amy, they fostered over 40 dogs through Last Hope K9 Rescue, changing countless lives in the process.

Gian stood tall, loyal, and proud of Boston for the Dogs, even when times were tough. His love for dogs was only matched by his passion for Pokémon—he was the ultimate Pokémon trainer, always trying to catch ‘em all, both in the game and in real life with the dogs he cared for.

We are deeply thankful for our clients’ understanding and patience as we navigate this difficult time. We’re grateful to have Nathan back on the team, stepping in to help fill the huge hole Gian leaves behind. The universe works in mysterious ways, and we feel fortunate to have him with us again.

Nathan, Noah, Brayelynn, Jala, and I will continue to honor Gian’s memory and legacy every day as we move forward. We are all so much better for having known him, and though we’re hurting now, his spirit will live on in everything we do.

We love you forever, Gian. You will always be part of our family. 💔🐾
