Life Between Coasts Episode 9: Love Me Like a Dog: How Rex Led Rico to His Purpose

In this uplifting episode of Life Between Coasts, we sit down with Rico, the inspiring founder of Love Me Like a Dog, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans through the healing bond between humans and dogs. Rico opens up about the winding road that led him to this mission—from life-altering personal experiences to a powerful, synchronous encounter with a dog named Rex that changed everything. Together, we explore how moments of pain, purpose, and connection shaped the creation of his organization, and how he's now helping veterans find hope, companionship, and healing one paw at a time.
