Chester, our most loved employee, worked at the office for his entire life. He was born at Dr. Tom's house in 2007 and although he was a still born, Dr. Tom brought him back to life with puppy CPR! He was our miracle pup and loved coming to the office everyday. When Chester was not at work, he enjoyed playing with his brother and mom at home, taking walks in the woods, and swimming in the ocean over the summer. Chester passed away in 2020 but will always be remembered!
