Harold's absolute favorite part about working with animals is witnessing the moment an anxious, scared, or hurt pet begins to relax and feel safe. He finds it the best feeling when a shy dog finally wags its tail or a grumpy cat allows you to pet them.
Yes, Harold has a beloved pet! He has a Labrador Retriever named Bernard, who is very voracious and loves to snack on ice cubes from the fridge.
When he's not at work, Harold hits the gym three times a week and enjoys outdoor hiking on weekends to unwind physically and mentally.
His go-to comfort food is a bowl of ramen, and his favorite snack is mixed nuts.
A fun or surprising fact about Harold that most people don't know? He "can see ghosts... 😱😱😅" What always makes his day better is overhearing ridiculous pet names at the clinic, like "Princess Waffles," "Dr. Beef," or "Mr. Monkey," even if it's a dog – it never fails to make him laugh.
Harold's favorite season is summer because he loves going to the beach.
He also shares that he can tell a Labrador's mood by how intensely they wag their tail (left indicates guilt, right means "Pet me now!"). He's still working on understanding cats, as he finds them to be "enigmas in their fur."
