COVER STORY
20 The Pet in the Family

For Gwendolyn Coley of Lanham, Maryland and Gerard Johnson of Boise, Idaho, the animals in their lives are important. Coley was about two-years-old and living in Columbus, Georgia when she saw “these beautiful white horses” pulling the wagon carrying John F. Kennedy’s casket on television. Today, she owns three horses.

While growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Johnson’s dream was to breed horses. However, as a city boy he found owning a horse impractical and expensive; so, his interest turned to dogs. He is now one of the nation’s top breeders of German Shorthaired Pointers.
