Our pet community lost a real one...

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Daniela. I am part-owner of Pawtanicals located in North Bergen. We recently learned the devestating news of the passing of Joshua Huayamave (Josh, as we all knew him). He passed away on May 5th after he was struck by a hit and run on 76th Street in NB. We are praying that justice is served and anyone with any information should contact the Hudson county prosecutors office. He was a dog walker in our area. When we met Josh, he was starting his dog walking/adventure business and scaled it up to what it was until today. His generosity and the way he connected with the dogs he took care of was rare. He always brought light and positively whenever he walk in; we will never forget his smile when he brought in clients to our shop.

We are independently raising thses funds to provide his family through any hardships in the upcoming days, weeks, and months. As part of the pet industry/community, this hits home. We may not talk to each other everyday but when one of us goes, it rips us apart. We bond over the unconditional labor of love that is the pet care industry and we will always support each other no matter what. Our deepest condolences goes to his family, friends, and his clients. He was a gem of a person who had the magic to talk to our dogs. Rest in Peace, Josh. We pray you are surrounded by the doggies in heaven.

We appreciate it if anyone who isn't able to donate to share this link so we can get the word out.
