About

Pam, a farmer's daughter, was brought up in the small village of Lower Penn on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, England.

After graduating from Woodfield Avenue High School, she attended Staffordshire Agricultural College. She was a member of both Albrighton Young Farmer's Club and Kidderminster Young Farmers' Club.

Upon leaving College, Pam ran her own riding school, rode with the Albrighton and Albrighton Woodland foxhounds and managed the family farm and boarding kennels.

Pam moved to the United States in mid-1960, after her father’s death, to follow a dream of owning a German Shepherd like Rin Tin-Tin.

The team of Pam and her first German Shepherd "Rocky" were instrumental in pioneering the concept of pet therapy for the old and the young alike. A number of local newspapers printed stories of his exploits.
