Our CEO Spotlight shines on Kristin Elliott.  The Rochester High School Science Teacher, mother of three and owner of two dogs is the creator of the Doodie Pack. The backpack for dogs can carry your water, or cell phone, maybe your keys, but most especially your dogs bagged "duty.". Four years ago, Elliott says she saw a well-dressed couple walking their dog and then picking up the poo. Thinking there must be a better way, she worked at making the Doodie Pack.  It's now caught on around the world and carries many things to help dogs and their owners.
