PET PAGE ; Josh Muyal and his two dogs, Cooper (LEFT) and Casey. Josh is a 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Gray Academy and instead of being obsessed with hockey and video games, he devotes his time to raising money for abandoned, neglected and abused dogs. Josh has created an advocacy group called Dogs Who Need A Home, and it's goal is to hold monthly fundraising events in support of local dog rescue organizations. They've held a couple so far with more planned for the summer. This all began because his family has been fostering dogs for about eight years, and Josh has seen some severely abused and neglected animals pass through his home in that time.
