Even if you're talking to the janitor, that janitor could still be the CEO. That's a small business life. Hi, I'm Santos. I'm Jen. We're the co -founders of Gone to the Dogs. We are an ethical pet brand located in Brooklyn, New York. We do everything. We would love to clone
ourselves. We're the person that's greeting you. Clone ourselves if we could. We're the person that's greeting you. And then we're the one that's checking you out. And then if you tag us on Instagram, we're back here doing the social media. And if you're like commenting on one of our products, be nice because we're also the designers.
