Origin Story

Daisy’s Legacy was born out of a heartbreaking and preventable tragedy involving Daisy, a beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who served as a service dog and cherished companion. Daisy’s life was tragically cut short due to a medication error—a vet prescribed one medication, but the pharmacy dispensed another, leading to her untimely death. This tragic loss highlighted significant gaps in the pet care system and inspired a determined effort to transform grief into positive action.
